Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using an URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]
As always, there is an xkdc about this
tar -xzf (eXtract Ze File)
tar -czf (Compress Ze File)
Mmmnnn z means (de)compress, c means create: -xf and -cf extract and create uncompressed tarballs. Also it’s far more complicated.
I’m sorry!

For newbies that know from the top of their head what a cd-rom is...
Fair point. You can probably be 20 these days and not have really used CDs in your memory. Is this what getting old feels like?

It's also helpful to note that “shell builtins” don't typically have man pages (at least for BASH). You can find help on these commands by typing [builtin name] --help or looking in the shell's man page or info doc (no one told me when I was learning, so I got confused as to why some of the more common commands didn't have man pages)

Correct
