7-Zip for Windows can now use more than 64 CPU threads for compression
https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip
It includes the above patches as well as few QoL features.
-
7-Zip 25.00
There is also NanaZip which aims to be a more modern Windows application and I think also incorporates the additions of the 7zs fork https://github.com/M2Team/NanaZip

Rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia

- WinRAR musste shady werden.
- WinRAR sold 5,449 licenses in a day
- Am I crazy, or does every linux distro just have all these compression algs included?

my rarbg magnet backup (268k)
If you have Windows 10 or above, you should instead use NanaZip instead of 7-Zip-zstd. It is a massively improved fork of 7-Zip.
- 28 years later, Windows finally supports RAR files

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of VLC - A Comprehensive Exploration of a Multimedia Powerhouse
The first part of modernizing is port everything to XAML, adding dark mode and others. It's expected to be during this year, new UI in 2024. It's in their roadmap in GitHub

Tar files made in macOS generate "xattr" errors when expanded in Linux
Per this 2018 page, GNU tar seems to work with SCHILY.* encoded xattrs, but not LIBARCHIVE.* ones:
* https://mgorny.pl/articles/portability-of-tar-features.html#...
* Via: https://github.com/mxmlnkn/ratarmount/issues/145
bsdtar ≥3.7.2 apparently adds both types to its files for maximum portability:
* https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/691/files#diff...
AFAICT, bsdtar will default to "ustar" format, but will auto-switch to "pax" if needed.

Jia Tan "JiaT75": Added error text to warning when untaring with bsdtar
Wild. All of these carefully inserted “seemingly innocuous” changes in the ecosystem to end up contributing to a wider exploit.
This comment sums it up nicely with a gif: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1609#issuecomm...

The XZ attack and timeline
29. October 2021 At this point Jia Tan pops up, and the first thing we see from him is an innocuous patch to the xz repository, and while a lot of people believe he started out trying his luck with another library also known as libarchive, this is not the case, I would bet it’s more of a backup looking at the dates, being that there are a few days in between as shown in this commit.
- Zip entry size unset now honors user requested compression level
- Suspicious libarchive pull request

Backdoor in upstream xz/liblzma leading to SSH server compromise
Potentially malicious commit by same author on libarchive: https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/pull/1609

Making Amiga IFF Thumbnails Work in Linux
Full agreement, and with the addition of xpk¹/xfd² as natural extensions to that extensibility too. I see things like xfd supporting xz¹, and I'm simultaneously amazed that it exists and happy that I don't need to do xz {,de}compression on 68k ;)
I guess we have something similar-ish with libarchive⁴, but nobody(including me) has pushed the extra mile to get file dialogs to support random compression and decompression formats.
Beyond OT: I didn't realise how much stuff was still going on at aminet, but I love love LOVE that people are still dropping new car sets for Geoff Crammond's F1GP.

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:
