It should be a crime to directly link XKCDs images without the corresponding page.
I hope whoever thought -l should mean “check links” instead of list has a special place in Hell set aside for them.
I have no idea what print a message if not all links are dumped even means.
I use Linux for years and still Google every time I have to use it!
For me it’s because I don’t use it very often, mostly just archiving stuff every few months or so.
tar is just the worst shell command in existence. Why do people still bother with it?
I avoid it and use zip or 7z if I can. But for some crazy reason some people stil insist on using that garbage tool and I have no idea why.
If you want to do more than just “pack this directory up just as it is” you’ll pretty quickly get to the limits of zip. tar is way more flexible about selecting partial contents and transformation on packing or extraction.
Are zip and 7z really that much easier?
tar cf foo.tar.xz wherever/
zip -r foo.zip wherever/
7z a foo.7z wherever/
I get that tar needs an f for no-longer-relevant reasons whereas other tools don’t, but I never understood the meme about it beyond that.
Is c for “create” really that much worse than a for “add”?
