I came from the general meta site with this question in mind:

I know I can build a .rar file with regular method or programs, and append it to an image by using a command such as cat img.jpg myfile.rar > img.jpg and when opening the image, the image will be displayed as before. But I can also open the image with WinRAR or a software alike (like unrar e img.jpg). How is possible that the rar file is recognized inside the jpg image, instead of rejected as not being an appropriate file format?

Is that question suitable here?

Yes, it's about file formats that are related to general computing. You've explained the setup well and it's clear what you're asking. Therefore, you can ask it here.

  • An error message appeared to me telling I can post once every 40 minutes! What can I do? I am trying to post in the main site and the only question I did was this (meta) question.

  • I imagine that message means you can only post one question every 40 minutes. Wait a while, then you'll be able to ask it.

  • Will have to wait then. Pretty weird, never happened to me in other SE sites.

  • If you can only post 1 question ever 40 minutes it means some of your past questions have not been well received. Be sure this question is extremely high quality from a clarity, grammatical, and research perspective.
