Episode notes

You downloaded a file ending in.zst or.tar.zst, double-clicked it on your Mac, and nothing useful happened. macOS can open ZIP files directly, but Zstandard files are still not handled like normal Finder archives. So when you receive a.zst file from a server, backup system, Linux package, developer tool, or data export, you need another way to extract it. A.zst file is compressed with Zstandard, often shortened to Zstd or ZST. A plain.zst file usually means one compressed file. https://medium.com/@chris.ahrweiler/how-to-open-a-zst-file-on-mac-dd9fa1ef29a5
