Don't Use RAR
I typically don't make use of standard archive formats these days for my own file storage. If I want just pure maximum compression, I'll often use a long-range matcher like FreeArc's srep [1] or lrzip [2] combined with either fast-lzma2 [3] using a p7zip fork [4] for multithreading or use mcm [5] or zpaq.
However, my truly preferred way is using dwarfs [6], which features some really good deduplication and (by default) zstd compression while being mountable. Most of my files are highly compressed and easily accessible without needing to full decompress them. Admittedly, I don't make use of PAR2 or anything of the sort, but I could just do that the traditional way if I so wished.
