    Tared files are cancer and should never be used for any reason.

        Clearly you never needed that single file quickly from a 5gb and 12,000 files tgz archive.

      Wtf are you on… It’s literally just a way to turn a bunch of files into one. You can feed it into a makefile and make a single file installer like nothing. Apps are based on the concept. It’s a key technology for all sorts of applications

      It’s so simple it works for anything, anywhere… It’s like saying virtualization is cancer. It’s often annoying when you have to interact with it directly, but everything we love is built on it
