The number of bricks in an Immersive Engineering coke oven. At least, unless they changed it since Direwolf built one on Forgecraft.
Also, the "tarball" I was referring to is Linux slang for a .tar.gz file, which is a tar archive that has been gzipped. Gzip compresses files pretty well, but unlike the zip Windoze users are familiar with, it can only compress one file. Tar, on the other hand, can take multiple files and package then into an archive, but doesn't compress them. So, when Linux coders want to distribute a program they've written (and they don't want to use a package manager like apt to do it), they'll usually use tar to create an archive containing all the relevant binaries, libraries, assets, etc, then gzip it to compress it. Which means that .tar.gz files are very common in the Linux world. So, tarball.
