gollark: Not really. ZIP can use zstandard and DEFLATE and whatever too.
gollark: Well, it has better compression efficiency.
gollark: zpaq is very nice but not updated any more so I don't trust it to not be broken.
gollark: TAR is bad then. Or .tar.gz etc.
gollark: Well, I realized that ZIP did basically the same thing a while ago, but TARs are annoying as they don't support random access.
