[13:22] schestowitz[TR2][13:22] schestowitz[TR2]Moodle is a popular open-source platform used by educational institutions worldwide for creating online courses, managing content, and facilitating collaborative learning. Running Moodle on Ubuntu is a common choice due to Ubuntu's stability, security, and support for a wide range of software packages. The process involves installing necessary components like Apache or Nginx as the web ser [13:22] schestowitz[TR2] ver, MySQL or PostgreSQL as the database, and PHP as the scripting language, all of which are well-supported on Ubuntu.

[13:36] schestowitz[TR2][13:36] schestowitz[TR2]How many zips could a file manager zip if a file manager could zip some zips? All right, here's a possibly pointless scenario for you. Say you have a compressed archive of some kind (zip, 7z, tar, rar, whatever), and you want to create a new archive, using the existing one as a source. For instance, you have a file called dedo.zip and you wish to "compress" it further into dedo2.7z [13:36] schestowitz[TR2] .
[13:36] schestowitz[TR2]If you ask around, you will realize that multi-level compression doesn't necessarily have any benefits. Depending on the scenario, the file format, and the compression algorithm, your second-level archive may in fact be larger than the source, and if you also use encryption, in some scenarios, you might even degrade the security this way. But I'm not here to change the world, I'm [13:36] schestowitz[TR2] here to solve a simple issue. Plasma's file manager, Dolphin, does not seem to be able to create multi-level archives. If you select a compressed file, right click, there won't be an option to compress, only extract. All right, so how do you work around that, then? Today's article shall reveal.
