Why is everyone always going in about tar? I never saw the issue with it, its not more or less complicated than other commands that take command line flags…
For example: sudo netstat -peanut, where -peanut actually expands to -p -e -a -n -u -t. I don’t have any idea anymore what each letter stands for while I do recall that tar -cjf file.tar * is -c create, -j bzip2 compression and -f filename
Hah, I was taught to do netstat -tulpn. “Tulpen” is German for “tulips”.
Also, these days ss has generally replaced netstat (cause it’s built into the kernel), so now I get to tell our trainees to run ss -tulpn.
Every time, they think I’m bullshitting them, which is hilarious.

I use
-ntulpabecause I was researching tulpas at around the same time when I was learning netstat and it stuck.
