i just use either zip or tar+gzip. personally, i avoid rar as it's a proprietary format.

most of the things i want to send around my network in archives are already compressed binary files, so i just tar everything.
.zlib
I unironically used xz for a long time. It was just eazy and all around very good compress. A close second is 7zip because I used it on windows for years.
so silly loll
ZPAQ is for cool people with massive space savings
Make the stage 4 tarball
I’m in this picture and I resent it.
I still wonder what that's like. Somebody must still occasionally get a notification that SOMEWHERE somebody paid for their WinRAR license and is like "WOAH WE GOT ANOTHER ONE!"
Never looked back since 7z though. :D
