Ah yes, another riveting tale of how a was saved by the mighty , the of algorithms 🦸‍♂️. Who knew that the ultimate adventure would be trading pixelated fun for tedious file space management? 📦✨ Remember folks, when in doubt, always make sure your personal boundaries for code copying are intact. 🙄

I love playing around with #compression

In this case, it's all text-based data in csv and xml formats.

Size:

32,696,320 202411.tar
 4,384,020 202411.tar.bz2
 4,015,912 202411.tar.zst
 3,878,583 202411.tar.bz3
 3,730,416 202411.tar.xz

zstd was invoked using zstd --ultra -22
xz was invoked using xz -9e
bzip2 was invoked using bzip2 -9
bzip3 has no compression level options

Speed:

Maximum memory usage (RSS):

zstd    706,312
xz      300,480
bzip3    75,996
bzip2     7,680

*RSS sampled up to ten times per second during execution of the commands in question

#bzip3 is freaking amazing, yo.

Trabalhando com o tar no linux
Os arquivos tarball são distribuições de software livre que mantêm uma estrutura de diretórios, arquivos fonte, um arquivo Makefile, documentação e outros arquivos, encapsulados em um arquivo tar com compressão de dados gzip.

Este método de distribuição de software é muito popular porque os utilitários tar e gzip são muito
