I wish I had a single unix command-line tool that presented a single command-line interface but can work with all the various compression formats I use (tgz, 7zip, zip, etc).

Currently zip, 7z, tar, zstd etc all use different tools with totally different interfaces. I find myself needing to consult one or another --help far more than I should. zstd just startled me greatly when I discovered that zstd -d by default writes the output file in the same directory as the input file rather than pwd

okflo,

@mcc mc (midnight commander) can handle most compression tools

okflo,

@kiwa reminds me of my first boot into a Linux kernel, oh all the pain, calculating mode lines… I loved it! 😎

As Greenspun's tenth rule puts it, "Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad hoc, informally-specified, bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp". Joe Marshall's reflections on his experiences remind me of the rule:

okflo,

@amoroso it is also true for all theses Java frameworks, f.e. just think about this spring-nonsense
