peazip is finally not shit!!! the 7.0 release in mid-December improved it a lot

to get the GTK2 version working you just wget/curl the latest GTK2 deb from here and then run
Code: 
sudo sh -c 'dpkg --add-architecture i386; apt install -y libgtk2.0-0:i386; apt install ./peazip_*.deb; rm ./peazip_*.deb'

finally I don't have to install wine and install the windows version of 7zip or winrar on my ubuntu server...

Why not use engrampa? It's pretty good and despite being MATE's file-roller, you don't need any Gnome/MATE libs.

Ah, I'll just stick with the cli tools.

that's fair, but I feel like archival CLI tools have a habit of using really hard to memorize parameters and there are so many options I need to change from archive to archive so I can't just macro it, I gotta look through the documentation evverry time.

last time I tried it, it needed systemd for something, and my cheapo linux box ran out of a docker container doesn't allow that. for the price I really can't complain...

I keep notes for commands with Cli tools because so many of the man pages are written by autists.

I use jdupes to find exact matches in my image collections. What's the best option to use for fuzzy matching images that are similar?

This is why I use dtrx to Do The Right Extraction without having to care about specifics. It even has an easy to remember name.

actually I have the extraction parameters memorized (unfortunately), it's creating archives that kicks my ass

you could use imagededup which uses Python 3, the big advantage here is if you can get it working with CUDA 10.0 (utilized by tensorflow) you can GPU accelerate the process

that said, it's pretty barebones and you'll have to play around with it in the python IDE to get it working the way you want it to. there's some examples in the examples folder but they're a little bit outdated

A certain language that is, in my experience, ubiquitous on Linux Boxes, ships with two tools with identical CLIs that handle Zip and Tar archive creation. It's a shitlang, but if it's already bundled in you might as well try it right? Disclaimer: I haven't used it extensively.

mmmm I usually go with 7z

Looking for 7z support in Snek led me to libarchive and its deceptively-named tool bsdtar which handles a shitton of formats w/ a unified interface. It's probably less shitcodey since it's a widespread C library. Read The Fine Manpage. Does that do it for you? Me, I might keep it in my deck now.
