Look. I don’t care what anyone says. My enterprise runs on WinRAR. Not 7-Zip. Not PeaZip. Not whatever Linux-ass tar.gz bs you're all pretending to love. Win. RAR is life.

I take great pride in specializing in a specific field in IT: Compression. While all these IT jackoffs of all trades run around pretending to be experts in security, clouds, or servers n ♥♥♥♥, the gap of WinRAR experts has always been high in demand, especially in government. It's an untapped market, how about ya'll stop doing all this cYbEr ♥♥♥♥ and specialize in something useful.

I maintain a centralized automated WinRAR license server that, pushing out preconfigured .rar shell extensions like a a compression pro. Our MDM policies enforce WinRAR as the default file handler for everything. ZIP? Nope. Open with WinRAR. ISO? WinRAR. PDF? WinRAR. It's the most highly efficient environment I've administered.

I once compressed a 4GB PST file into a 900MB RAR, demonstrated elite compression skills.

My users: "Why does my computer say my WinRAR trial expired in 2016?" Me: "Debra, how many times do I have to tell you to open a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ticket... Debra, Jesus Christ I mean what the ♥♥♥♥!?"

I've got the automated WinRAR Service installed on a Windows Server 2022 Azure box called RARLORD. It’s been up for 989 days straight and is so hardened it never needed patches. Patch free, no injuries, no problems.

Our backups? RAR files. Our logs? RAR files. The CEO’s family photos from the company BBQ? Double compressed RAR inside another RAR with AES256 encryption and a password no one knows.

You want ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ security? I got it buddy. Nobody's breaking into a RAR archive with a 64 character password and "Store only" compression.
