Isn't it the same as using systemd-nspawn? containers. let you declare containers with nspawn. What's the difference?

For compression, I have one for .tar.gz. But it's not that popular in my system. I need something a bit easier than 'pack file file file archive.tar.gz'

Honestly, it doesn't need any updates, it works so great without any pain, I'm just happy with it

My fav script to unpack anything, found a few years ago somewhere

      # ex - archive extractor
      # usage: ex 
      function ex() {
          if [ -f $1 ] ; then
          case $1 in
              *.tar.bz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
              *.tar.gz) tar xzf $1 ;;
              *.tar.xz) tar xf $1 ;;
              *.bz2) bunzip2 $1 ;;
              *.rar) unrar x $1 ;;
              *.gz) gunzip $1 ;;
              *.tar) tar xf $1 ;;
              *.tbz2) tar xjf $1 ;;
              *.tgz) tar xzf $1 ;;
              *.zip) unzip $1 ;;
              *.Z) uncompress $1;;
              *.7z) 7z x $1 ;;
              *) echo "'$1' cannot be extracted via ex()" ;;
          esac
          else
              echo "'$1' is not a valid file"
          fi
      }
