• Debian on xz-utils: revert to version that does not contain changes by bad actor

  I will assume that the average effective broadband connection is about 20 MB/s, and both xz and zstd decompressions are faster than the download under this assumption. But there are lesser known compression algorithms that are more efficient in terms of compression ratio for this target decompression speed, like zpaq [1], which are rarely considered as alternatives. So multiple factors exist here and I believe... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• External Drive won’t open on mac (unique case)

  My best bet is some data corrupted when plugging into windows. If it still works in windows I strongly recommend you backup important data on your drive. You can use 7z to compress, or zpaq which can achieve incredible compression rate in some cases. Source: about 1 year ago

• PeaZip 9.0.0 released

  Yes, you can find more information on how it works on the zpaq's author website http://mattmahoney.net/dc/zpaq.html. Source: over 1 year ago

• QOI + ZPAQ: a possible combo to streamline game asset deployment

  There was a recent essay about the use of the QOI format for software/game assets. They're somewhat bigger than PNGs; however, I discovered that they compress really good with ZPAQ. Source: over 1 year ago

• WinRar vs 7-Zip which one is better (excluding trial/pricing of Winrar)

  But when you need high compression rates, why not use something more innovative? ZPAQ is amazing - Journaling archiver for incremental backups There are plugins for total commander to ease managing, or gui linked at Matt Mahoney's page It offers better compression ratio than both Winrar and 7-Zip, for even more RAM and time to compress. The amazing part is not wasting energy and storage space for the same... Source: almost 2 years ago
