Was that done with the new Google JPEG algorithm?

No, the story was compressed with the super efficient compression algorithm rm. Unfortunately NCommander noticed too late that he didn't have the corresponding decompression program installed, and couldn't find it anywhere on the web. :-)

So you're telling me that I've been using rm wrong all along? So it is a one-way compression utility that compresses files to zero bytes and not a utility to delete files! Amazing! I need to read more man page! Look at that, I can compression my whole hard drive with the -rf flag at the root directory​! Be back in a minute, I've got to try this out.... I bet I can download the internet if I pipe wget through rm before archiving it.... So cool!
