program minimize

I'm very sensitive to file size. And 20230428 I found a nice guy to minimize my released executable files:

UPX, The Ultimate Packer for eXecutables. (copy from its readme, strange capitals)

install

• for windows: using scoop, scoop install upx
• for archlinux: sudo pacman -S upx

usage

upx --best --lzma <yourfile.exe>

or you want to minimize the whole package folder including dlls, replace <yourfile.exe> with <yourfolder>/*

but upx will increase the runtime memory usage, I think it's not worth it.
