Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    You don't need the v, it just means verbose and lists the extracted files.

    You don't need the z, it auto detects the compression

    Yeah, I just tell our Linux newbies tar xf, as in "extract file", and that seems to stick perfectly well.

    That's still kinda new. It didn't always do that.

    Per https://www.gnu.org/software/tar/, it's been the case since 2004, so for about 19 and a half years...

    Telling someone that they are Old with saying they are old…

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

    Something something don't cite the old magics something something I was there when it was written...

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

    Right, but you have no way of telling what version of tar that bomb is running

    [–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

    You may not, but I need it. Data anxiety is real.
