   @icon_of_computational_sin Yeah, it's why I banned GNU tar from my machines because someone linked to https://www.roguelazer.com/blog/surprising-behavior-in-gnu-tar/ describing that behavior.

     Hear me out, lads. You all know how to run tar, right? "tar -cf derp.tar herp dee doo" will create a file called derp.tar with stuff in it. So far so good.

     But what happens if that file name contains a colon? Like this, "tar -cf d:erp.tar herp dee doo"? I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!
