tar just wraps, doesn't compress. so more accurate would be the pillows in a looser bag that doesn't squish them even a little :)

Spotted the Linux user
yourfiles.tar.xz
Looks more like a one-way hash to me.
Why use this over .7z? I'm legit curious.

Reminds me of the "grandma.zip" meme
Yay this is now a URL. If your intention was not to post a URL to some random website not loading anything but javadscript, put a "" before the link I guess
Test "example.\com"
Fuck Google
I do NOT understand how zip is still the default. I use .tgz wherever I can.
Because of your comment, I did a quick google search and pretty much every source says that .tar.gz is also pretty ancient and not that good (from a compression point of view). For better compression, you can use the xz or 7zip formats. The former is more used on Linux, if that's what you're using.
Compatibility with literally anything under the sun that can decompress a compressed file.
But isn't that's given with tgz too?
Except of course Windows iirc
Best explanation of tar/tar.gz that I have seen
