.tar.xz
xz is quite slow though
There's several levels you can use to trade off additional space for requiring more processing power. That being said, I hate xz and it still feels slow AF every time I use it.
It starting 0.5 seconds slower than usual saved us all a bit of a headache as it turns out.
I hate 7z, it's slow (at least for me) and for some reason I often have problems with these files
tar c file | pxz > file.tar.xz
pixz is in "extra" repo in arch. Same as pigz.
Same algo as in 7z
I had no idea about that!
Yeah, it's similar enough to tar.gz to always confuse me.
wait until you learn about
.tar.lzTar lzma nuts, amirite?
Good for image backups, after zeroing empty space.
TAR LAZER!
