I just recompressed a bunch of old .tar.bz2 archives as .tar.xz in case it compressed a bit better.
Before: 630 MB. After: 13 MB.
That's not a typo. The new files are smaller than the old ones by a factor of 50. There must be something _extremely_ compressible in there which only xz is able to take advantage of!

@simontatham The max block size of bzip2 is only 900k. XZ window sizes are normally much larger. Might be enough to explain big part of the difference, especially with highly redundant data.

Oh, but Sam is still cruising. Good shelter, has plenty of food, I dunno if he's cooking at home, or not, but he's clearly been outside more than a few times.
The boatman is not long for the island. Undercooked shellfish will be his end.

Maybe I've read too many survival books (Adrift: Seventy-six Days Lost At Sea at way too young an age) and too much frontier history, but I was genuinely expecting this to be like 90 days, minimum. Half of them have already gone home.
Dude is still on this boat nonsense. I mean, cool, you built a boat and it floats, so far. But, where are you going to go in a boat?
