      Nobody wants to deliberately use the wrong compression type when extracting, so modern tar will figure out the compression itself if you just point it at a file. So tar -xf filename works on almost anything. You don’t need to remember which flag to use on a .tar.bz2 file and which one for a .tar.xz file.

        That doesn’t give me a memorable mnemonic though.
