Took me almost literally two seconds to come up with that, unless your point is that at one point I had to learn it which, yeah, sure. What am I missing?

Even things like "what flags to use with ffmpeg" are a shell reverse-history search away, assuming one has ever used them in the past.
In 2013 I was using complex ffmpeg commands and using filters in there. Could remember the stuff easy. Now, I've gotta reference my ffmpeg notes more frequently.
Where's that XKCD about using the tar command?
As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, I can't provide specific details about the latest XKCD comics or their numbers because my training data only includes information available up to that time. However, you can easily find XKCD comics on the official XKCD website (xkcd.com) by using the search function or by browsing through the archives.
If there's a specific XKCD comic related to the "tar" command that you're looking for, you might be able to find it by searching for keywords like "XKCD tar command" on a search engine or directly on the XKCD website. The website has a good search feature that allows you to find comics based on keywords or topics.
> The XKCD comic about using the `tar` command can be found at [XKCD Comic #1168](https://xkcd.com/1168/). The comic humorously addresses the complexities and challenges of remembering the correct syntax for the `tar` command, a common scenario for many who use Unix-based systems.
tar xf for extract. Add v to show the files. tar cf to create. tar tf to "test" (list). Add -C dir at the end to extract to different directory. Set file to "-" for stdin.
That's all there's to it for 99% of use cases. I don't get how anyone can have difficulty with that: f for file, and x/c/t are pretty mnemonic.
