Inexplicable lag when opening media folders, Windows reloads every file individually
Trying to research this a little more, I came across a post that certainly seems to mimic the issue.

Control Center on macOS is always re-rendering its SwiftUI causing 1% CPU load
> compressed memory
doesn't solve much and it's been available in all other OS for a long time.
many reported that compressed memory can negatively impact performances in certain scenarios
For example

- Thanks for everything, WinRAR: Windows is finally getting native RAR support

I condensed down 30 million JPGs to 2.6TB and it takes me 6 days to move them
You can see pretty easily if you ever try to delete a node_modules folder on Windows: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Dev-Performance/issues/17 There's some anectdotal evidence in there that FS performance is better in Linux even when Linux is emulated in WSL2 instead of native Windows.

This delay happens when I open any folder with videos in it. Is it normal behavior or should I change any settings? (Using Windows 11 22h2 latest official build).

- Switching back to Windows showed me why Linux is more viable than ever
- Alternatives to CCleaner?

“The entire 11 MB ZIP file was being read from disk a single byte at a time”
A bug has been filed about this on the WinDev repo, might help resolve it faster if it gets some upvotes: https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Dev-Performance/issues/...

Notepad running next to gedit using the initial WSL GUI app support
There are performance issues with POSIX-first software on Windows. There is an open issue for the Windows team about it on Github. You can read more about it here. That's why WSL is needed.

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
- WinRAR musste shady werden.

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.
