Ok. #zstd was the first #Linux port that needs C++11 threads. And, it builds!

My #GNU cross toolchain on #FreeBSD finally seems to work! 🥳

Time to party, hehe. Or, time for bed in fact.

Next step will be a *native* Linux toolchain to build the rest of the #Linuxulator userland.

@jhx I really dislike C++ for a variety of reasons, but that's not relevant here I guess 😎

Right now, #binutils *would* finally build fine, but missing #zstd support.

Trying to build facebook's #zstd first, running into yet another roadblock. For *some* reason, the build doesn't see the definition of "std::mutex" although it looks like the headers installed by #gcc's libstdc++ have it.

Not sure whether it's time to give up yet 😞

Any #compression experts here?

I compressed an archive of nearly identical files (snapshots of the list of my tabs) in two ways.

First, as .tar.zstd, and that gave me 325MiB.

Then, I used #7zip with #lzma2, and got only 35MiB. Much closer to what I expected.

What gives? Is #tar stringing files together in a way that prevents #zstd from detecting duplicate data across files?

Anyone have suggestions for a #typescript library to compress data with #zstd ?

As of v20230625 #linux-firmware can use #xz and #zstd out of the box.

It was a long ride, thanks to Josh Boyer for sticking around and merging my work.

I have some rasters of multi GB size.
Without a gripe, call gdal_translate to compress those guys.
With ‘-co’ I set COMPRESS=ZSTD
and PREDICTOR=2 for optimal squeeze.
And only then proceed to analyze.

#dar 3/ Dar's homepage is http://dar.linux.free.fr/ . As a simple file archiver tool, dar is great. Random access is preserved, you can compress with #gzip #bzip2 #lzo #xz #zstd or #lz4. You can encrypt with #GnuPG or symmetric #AES. You can stream if you want. You can split ("slice") across multiple media, and dar will prompt you for the slice(s) you need and seek you right to them.

That's cool, but we're just getting started.

I’m super excited that Chrome is trying out the ZStandard compression algorithm. It decompresses much faster than Brotli, with similar compression ratios. #http #zstd https://botsin.space/@intenttoship/110580785640136248

Today I learned: Linux has multiple cats. 😺

For every single file compressor: #gzip, #bzip2, #lzma, #xz, and #zstd, there is a matching cat command: zcat, bzcat, lzcat, xzcat, and zstdcat. #TIL #TodayILearned #Cats #Cat

Accidentally double compressing your backups with #zstd is a really good way to give yourself a heart attack

Okay, there's a definite speed decrease when using #zstd-10 on a #ZFS pool hahaha.

Is it true? https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/73429/2 ("Due to zstd compress you can power off and it will be like hibernation When you boot up.") #fedora #silverblue #linux #zstd #devops #hibernate

#Zstd 1.5.5 Released With Corruption Fix, Improved Performance In Some Scenarios

Fun fact: #ZSTD + #BYTEDELTA is unreasonably efficient compressing synthetic data.
7.7x better ratio than ZSTD + SHUFFLE, and more than 1600x better than plain ZSTD.
And still compressing at more than 9 GB/s (!)

@fedora
Does it indicate that #Zstd v1.5 will be available in #Fedora 38?
