Zip: How not to design a file format
Do you consider rar a standard? It's a pretty good format, even though there aren't any good open-source implementations. But if you're willing to pay for your software, WinRAR command line versions are available for most platforms.
7zip is the most obvious free alternative. There is also a 7zip fork that offers zstd [1]. The command line experience for 7zip isn't very good however.

Zip/7Zip-archives instead of Cryptomator and what Apps
There's also this fork which supports additional compressions: https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

Best way to compress Data
7-zip is actually not a bad option, but I'd strongly advise using the fast-lzma2 codec, because, well, it is waay faster, and might even give you better ratios, depending on how you use it. You can find an implementation here, and it is compatible with traditional 7-zip (you can decompress it on any computer with any newish version of 7z)

Recommendation of Windows software [A long read]
Hi, PeaZip can use McMilk's additional compression codecs for 7z format (Zstandard, Brotli, Lizard, etc), https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd

Separate dump files for the top 20k subreddits
You can extract the files yourself with 7Zip. You can install 7Zip from here and then install this plugin to extract ZStandard files, or you can directly install the modified 7Zip with the plugin already from that plugin page. Then simply open the zst file you downloaded with 7Zip and extract it.

mind making a video on the superior 7z one compression to rule them all
https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd this guy modified 7z to handle newer compression algorithms

WinRAR zero-day exploited since April to hack trading accounts
I don't have a preview channel install handy to check, but apparently they're using libarchive so here's the full list assuming they expose everything it supports:

Thanks for everything, WinRAR: Windows is finally getting native RAR support
libarchive is an existing open source project. Replacing the older compression code with libarchive was probably not that complicated and they'll get bug fixes from that active open source project for free. I would not be surprised if the initial port to libarchive was done by one person in a single day.

28 years later, Windows finally supports RAR files
And well, if you took a second to read the libarchive documentation (supported file formats) you'd find the following bullet point:
Read-only support (via libarchive). You still need the WinRAR app to create new RAR archives.

Microsoft adding RAR, 7z, Gz and more to the native ZIP extractor, and finally having it use more than 1 CPU core.
Be the change you want to see in this world!

Can cuda help me here?
IO speed is often a limiting factor, particularly with many small files. It might help to store the images in a zip file to avoid the overhead of opening and closing many files. It also improves throughput because in a zip file the small files will be stored contiguously while as regular files they'll each take up at least one disk block. When you store them in the zip file, disable compression because JPEGs are already compressed. Python has zip file access built-in, and in C you can use libzip or libarchive.

Was cross-compiling and cross-running tests always this simple?
I am a noob and Rust is the first environment where I did cross compiling. I am also blown away by how easy and quick this works. However, with a new project it does not work anymore, because it involves a dynamic library (.so on Linux or .dll on Windows); specifically talking about libarchive with help of compress-tools.
What are some alternatives?
zstd - Zstandard - Fast real-time compression algorithm
p7zip - A new p7zip fork with additional codecs and improvements (forked from https://sourceforge.net/projects/sevenzip/ AND https://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/).
7z - Because 7-zip source code was in a 7z archive [mirror]
ZLib - A massively spiffy yet delicately unobtrusive compression library.
LZ4 - Extremely Fast Compression algorithm
squashfs-tools-ng - A new set of tools and libraries for working with SquashFS images
zfs - OpenZFS on Linux and FreeBSD
py7zr - 7zip in python3 with ZStandard, PPMd, LZMA2, LZMA1, Delta, BCJ, BZip2, and Deflate compressions, and AES encryption.
