rar2fs
- A while ago I asked how to best avoid grabbing rar'd torrents - now I'm back with an app that automates just that!

You can use something like rar2fs to mount the archives on-the-fly.
-
In Windows, you can use Winrar to extract split rar files and delete them as you go if you don't have enough disk space. Is there a program that lets you do this in Linux without wine?
fuse, mount the rar file https://github.com/google/fuse-archive (or https://github.com/hasse69/rar2fs)
-
TorrentSeeds (TS) Open for limited time.
If you use Linux, just mount your dir with that one https://hasse69.github.io/rar2fs/ and it will be unrared.
- The best datahoarding hint that changed my live: use RAR archives (or any other archive format, really)

I want to write a lot of .jpg images, photos to DVD. Should I put them in a RAR, ZIP file or just write/burn the .jpg files directly to DVD?
Mount zip, rar2fs. Just saying, there is little difference between both options.

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.

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:
