Was trying to extract a totally legit copy of Skate 3 I downloaded today to play on my Steam Deck

tar -zxvf yourmom.tgz /home/xkcd/yourmomnude/*
tar --help
That was my first thought too lol
Rofl me too twins
I know tar zxf and xjf off by heart. I probably do 100x as many extracts as creates. Tar is a stupidly antiquated command though.
Why remember/include the algorithm? Tar can infer that. It’s just
bsdtar xf filename.*for everything. (bsdtar handles .zip as well)The bomb said tar.
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
Yep, have this one committed to memory. Though if it asked me to uncompress a tarball, then I’d be fucked
tar xcvf this_awesome_file.tgz
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.
File not found, now we are dead.
Sounds like an error message from a
valid tar command
tar --extract --file file.tar.gz
I guess
man taris cheating, but it is a command involving tar. Not a command using tar, but a tar command…I suppose
tar --helpwould technically be a valid invoking of the binary itself ifman tardoesn’tBut it would not work on older non-GNU versions of tar.
GNU introduced the “–foo” style long options, and it was a long time before Unix versions began adopting them.
It didn’t say you could only enter one try, just that you had 10 seconds. The man page should give you something
I hitched my horse to just what I consider the basics–zip and unzip–and that has made it easy for me. But I’ve been stuck on those.
Extract anything:
tar xf <archive_file>Create a tbz2 archive:
tar cjf <archive_file.tbz2> <stuff to put in it>(And tossing in a

redditLemmy post, I think I’ll Google how to tell it to use.xz.Ok, you know what? Today is finally that day. It’s just capital

Stay by the phone always. We may need you to defuse a bomb someday.
I just use ouch
tar -cvzf /etc/Edit: we’re dead :(
I do
tax -xvf filenametaxBoom.
ah fuck, didn’t even notice
Christ this comment chain is perfect lmfao
quod erat demonstrandum :D
quod erat expectandum?
Quot expocto patronum!
or quod errat demonstrator, both fit.
I like the way you pointed that out lmao
… aaaaaand you’ve killed us all.
How does it verify the command is valid? Does it run what I enter?
If so, just give it an infinite loop followed by some attempt at a tar command:
while true; do :; done; tar -xyzNext time I build a bomb I let the timer continue while the command is running.
Yeah, what kind of idiot doesn’t parallelize their timer function.
i assume its looking for exit code of 0
echo || tar -xfzhd
Blue Team: “Okay everyone let’s make sure this is absolutely the correct input”
Red Team: “Lmao lets try this 90mb list of bash command injection patterns”
tar cJf file.tar.xz /path/to/file
tar xJf file.tar.xz /path/to/file.tar.xz -C /path/to/untar
is not very hard to remember
Unless you use it daily, I think that’s something I’d struggle with memorising, I’d just alias it tbh along with ls options
tar --versionRead my mind. :D
| man tar
This is a valid
mancommand, but not atarcommandI’ll use the man page to find a command; it said 10 seconds, not 1 try!
tar -xzf stands for tar eXtract Ze Filez
I like
tar xaf(eXtract All Files) better.You can skip the z; tar is smart enough to figure it out on its own
