Teacher watching in horror as I unload a 10 petabyte zip file on the school computer

Lmao. XD

MadMaddox my schools IT officer watching me unload a 4000 tb zip bomb on the school network

[@EMAHGERD]

It'd take about 124 days to unzip the 280 TB zip @210 lol

Seems like a good pandemic activity. It would give a person something to look forward to. 😆

In 2050 unpacking a 4.5PB file will be like us opening a word document now

No.

I have a question. How many pixels do we see from our eyes? Look at your socks, t-shirt, paper, outside, etc. One picture from our eyes have to be over 1GB, isn’t it?

@@canon-de-75 Actually no, if you look at trends of file sizes since the 70s, we have hit a plateau when it comes to file sizes.

A guy in my school put his zip bomb on a flash drive and named it “gtaVI”, left it on the school computer’s desktop and watched someone else take the bait 😭

Rick, I had no idea what a zip bomb was. Thanks for the information!
Astounding how compressed the file(s) can be! You mentioned the demonstration files were not videos, but I wonder if they could be of videos or photos? If so, it sure would help making a backup drive full of zip bombs or even sending to someone for them to decompress!
Thank you again for the information and instruction!

[@thethingthatshouldnotbe3035]

The thing with compression algorithms is, that they work based on simplifying data. Let me try and explain: lets say you have an image of a red square. A file that represents said image without compression would „know“ every pixel of that square and that it is red, INDIVIDUALLY, which inflates the file size. A form of compressing that image could be, that the file representing it only would inherit the informtipn about the image size and that all pixels in it are red. Now what im getting at is, that the hypercompression seen with these zip bombs (up to 99.9% as seen in the video) is only possible because of whats inside of them. I dont know if its null bytes („empty“ bytes) with the bomb shown in the video but that would be sth practical because theres literally nothing in it (google „null“ if you need further explanation on that) and therefore would be easy to highly compress, hence the lack of complexity. That being said, „backup-bombs“ would never ever be this small because of all the complex data that would have to be inside. There are only two ways of compression: either you lose detail/complexity and therefore achieve smaller file sizes or you keep the detail and only compress what really is redundant which results in a bigger file.
I hope this was helpful and explained well enough to be easily understandable. Have nice day. :)
