Somehow, idk why. This one is stuck in my head:

tar -zxvf filename.tar.gz

tar xzvf

eXtract Ze Vucking File

I have to do this command often at work and I can never remember the letters perfectly. This is actually useful, thanks!

The bomb runs AIX. I'm sorry, you're dead

tar zxvf filename.tar.gz file?

[-] BestBouclettes@jlai.lu 9 points 4 months ago

Nope, tar doesn't handle compression on AIX. So it would be something like gzip -cd filename.tar.gz | tar xvf -

Ugh.

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Same, never used a mnemonic for it or anything, just

zxvf

Like it's any other word

z=zip (default in most tar), x=eXtract, v=verbose (not needed in most cases), f=target

[-] prettybunnys@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

verbose … not needed?

If the words don’t happen how can I trust computer magic?

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Yeah, how do I know that the PC isn't slacking?

Monitor the room temperature.
