Sister communities:
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 users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
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.
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, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
Comments written in other languages are allowed.
The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

tar -czvf tar_name.tar.gz ./I even read this aloud in my head as "CREATE ZE VUCKING FILE" in a particularly bad German accent same as over 20 years ago when a friend I worked for drilled it in my head.
Read it in tf2 medics voice
I didn't realize that was my default German voice in my head. Thx
lol that’s honestly a great mnemonic
Yep, have this one committed to memory. Though if it asked me to uncompress a tarball, then I'd be fucked
tar xzvf this_awesome_file.tgz
… fixed. Apparently I can’t type.
I think you want to remove the
cbecause that means "create" an archive, and you're missing azwhich applies gzip decompression/compressionI suppose it is tar version dependent, but on any recent Linux version I have used, you can just tar xvf <tar_name.tar.{z,gz,xz,etc}> and it will automatically figure out if it is compressed, what tools were used to compress it, and how to decompress it.
But you are right, x and c are mutually exclusive.
Yeap, apparently I can’t type. So, we’d all be dead anyway with that bomb.
QED 🫠
File not found, now we are dead.
Sounds like an error message from a
valid tar command
