“What kind of lunatic uses 7zip?”
Isn’t p7zip one of the only compression formats in Ubuntu that utilizes SMP? .xz still doesn’t support it according to the manpage?
I find patool: https://wummel.github.io/patool/ a LOT better than atool… and more up to date.
Hiya from the states,
Has anyone on the show already mentioned https://outernet.is to the labdoo.org folks? Are you all aware of this? I figured you are already aware given your collective exposure to all things Pi on the show. It could work quite well in tandem with some of the laptops that won’t get access to the internet as it is.
Cheers,
…
