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 6 months ago

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

[-] 9point6@lemmy.world 2 points 6 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 6 months ago

verbose … not needed?

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

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 months ago

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

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!

    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 fork-bomb your computer.
