Undefusable Unix Bomb

can you use "man tar" is it cheating?

tar --help?

tar -xjf ? And maybe put a 'c' somewhere in there too 🤔

This is why I really like PowerShell.

Obviously, not. @savethecode

tar -xvf filename

the hardest for me is actually using ln -s, keep forgetting if source should come first or later lol

This was on a test I had once. I was just like this haha.

It's been a long time since I had such a large grin on my face to a repost. It's just a great strip! :D But now that I think about it.. I'm pretty sure it was CSS last time

@Mislead yepp

@TuguMonas - that was hard for me too, until I realized the -s can mean source .

@juneeighteen oooooooohhhhhhh that's a good one. let's hope in 2 years I will not confuse source and symbolic lol

tar -xvzf source, the only one I'm comfortable with

tar xvzf filename

Dashes are for plebs

eXtract Ze File is how I remember it. Quite eazy. Please no powershel. That thing eats time like nothing else I've seen.

@hjk101 aaand is ugly af

@hjk101 that's a good one. Personally I use tar -xzvf to extract files.

@wolt Shure but as Create Ze File is the most common way to create tarballs I don't see the problem. I can't even remember when I had to use j (that letter is just illogical) or no compression at all.
I do run into plain gzipped files though (like .sql.gz).

Basically in practice the unzipping option is not all that optional. Even when you are technically right of course.

@jurbz as the v is consistently used as verbose in most commands I don't have to remember it. Mostly only use it when extracting specific parts.

@Mislead "display: flex;" on the surrounding element and
"align-self: center;" should do it, no? ^^
