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...

@sam9669 Hey, if it works, it's worth getting Satan on your PC.

(And if he's bored, he can try fixing the printer...)

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,
