running tar commands like
tar -abcdefghijfoeifjeoigejj3powogjp3wrijgo3iwerjgoijokjfwefmpwefoewfjweojfw666

Well the 666 might call the satan in your Linux system

I mechanically recorded in my mind a sequence of parameters that has not failed yet, I completely ignore what they are for, but hey, it works...

tar is nothing what you make it seem like 🤔

Accidentally compressed the file again for the 66th time when all you wanted to do was unpack it...

Check the extract function in this gist.

It's been a long time since I used it, so it's probably in pretty rough shape ^^

I can relate

xzfv!

Ditto

@lotd the function is great, I just don't know why it's set to run on the parent folder. I made the adjustment and added it to my bashrc

Having grown with lha, ice , zip, arj, arc, zoo (probably forgetting some) don't find tar particularly difficult, it's quite logic
x[jzJ]f to eXtract, c[jzJ]f to Create where jzJ is one of the compression.
Sure, add v before f for the hacker look,
