Once when I was drunk it took me 5min to realise, that a cd rom is in fact a read only file system

Does this mean that a cd-rw is not in fact a CD rom?

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: !linuxhumor@lemmy.ml

Tangentially related. I’m being confusing for educational purposes, tar is impossible even if you know it.

Mmmnnn z means (de)compress, c means create: -xf and -cf extract and create uncompressed tarballs. Also it’s far more complicated.

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)
