Zipping Your Files In Linux DistroTube
video description
One thing I'm having trouble though is managing installed programs. I wouldn't say it's difficult, but it's a lot less straightforward than using programs and features in windows. Specifically I'm having trouble finding a tool which can easily let me identify if a program is a dependency for something else, or if it is the sole program of its type and used as a default (for example mx linux comes with several text editors etc), or to even just list every installed program along with it's description. I don't know if this warrants making a video but it would surely be helpful.

The zipnote command is useful because when your mashing up a bunch of different types of files in a archive instead of extracting the stdout to see what files are there you can make & save them comments to remind you. What is strange is... If you protected the archive why would it let you grep for a file in the archive and show it in plain text ? So does zipcloack just passwd protect and not encrypt ? If anyone wants to try a quick experiment make a quick 5 or 6 letter password for your zip file, and then download fcrackzip. It will crack it in two minutes with an integrated graphics card with an old cpu. $ frcrackzip -b -u 'a' -l 3-6 -u archive.zip . That will crack the password and unzip the file the -b brute-froce, -u use-unzip ,'a' says all lowercase, the -l length 3-6 characters and then -u for unzip. Do a tar video next...

Hey DistroHuggers,
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is now 20190224, and has patched about 263 packages: systemd 239.5, flatpak 1.2.3, mesa 18.3.4, yast2, dxvk 0.96, vlc, ffmpeg, Firefox 65 and updated kernel to 4.20.10. That would be a big deal in something based on Ubuntu, but that is just routine bi-weekly thing for Tumbleweed. This was probably my 30th such update, and not once has it broken. That is one of the great features of Tumbleweed. One of the fun things about Linux is some users get a warm fuzzy feeling from getting updates.

Hey Derek, I just came across a very very nice terminal program, wondering if you ever heard of it. It's called: -dict- and it is a dictionary and thesaurus that you can run in your terminal. Dict has a daemon called -dictd- you need as well. This program is so convent when you don't want to have to go to google and look up words. A great program.

Nice tutorial, Derek! Short, to the point, and informative. How about tar and tar.gz sometime? Also, the basics of rsync for backing up a home folder to a usb stick (including specifying what directories to exclude) would probably be useful to many viewers.

dose it preserve permissions? Example, with tar, I use the -p switch to preserve the permissions. Also the -g to use the gzip compression.
So, my tar command looks like tar -cgpf archive.name pathToArchive

Thank you so much for this video Derek!! When I submit my radio shows to the radio station, I always use notes when zipping. Practical and any details or info I want to mention are in the notes.

Stay away from zipcloak. It uses the standard zip encryption which is very weak and not secure. If you really want an encrypted archive, use something like GNU Privacy Guard instead.

It's probably also worth mentioning that Vim can open files in ZIP archives directly. Just open the archive with Vim and it will let you select the file to edit.
