  • February is always 28 days long.

API ToS Q&A Summary

This is a summary of the Q&A regarding the new API ToS that took place in the #api channel on the Discord API server, starting around midnight UTC on Thursday, August 17, 2017.

All answers are from b1nzy unless marked otherwise. This is just a summary of my (meew0) own interpretation of the Q&A; obviously this shouldn't be interpreted as anything legally binding.

Tar usage / Tar Cheat Sheet

Tar Usage / Cheat Sheet

Compress a file or directory

e.g: tar -czvf name-of-archive.tar.gz /path/to/directory-or-file

  • -c: Create an archive.
  • -z: Compress the archive with gzip.
  • -v: makes tar talk a lot. Verbose output shows you all the files being archived and much.
  • -f: Allows you to specify the filename of the archive.
