Some Decent Linux Jokes?

The last statement was me wrangling with XMLTV getting EPG data to import for japanese pirated rebroadcasted IPTV.
It was actually painful to configure the XML statements to scrape the data as I had to both understand how the values were derived and how I need to change them as they were regional stations.

In the end it was this syntax:
Example from their page: site_id="23##10##101040" xmltv_id="日テレ">日テレ</channel>
Actually needed was the info inside the site_id:

• 23 = Region
• 10 = Terrestrial (they seem to have different digital networks)
• 10140 = The number of the channel (same channel-name for different regions
• (unmentioned here but in another example they had an additional nimber after the 10140 which incremented by one or two without any understandable reason)

I had to get the region from the URL/source code out of the dropdown menu and find out that the type of broadcast is somewhere hidden in the html table and that there is is a small number besides each channel name dependant on the region)

Did you know NASA uses Linux on all its spaceships? That's why there's no sound in space.

Teach your kids the magic phrase... Sudo.

'Whats the word?"

"Please!!!"

"No! It's not! It's sudo!"

Linux, Microsoft & iOS engineers have a flat tire.

• The Apple engineer : "let's replace this tire ASAP"
• The Linux engineer : "we need to understand what caused the issue first, or it might happen again"
• The Microsoft engineer : "shouldn't we just go back in the car and see if the issue solves itself?"

The Apple Exec: "let's remove the tyre altogether, and sell it piecemeal back to the driver"

More like: you'll have to buy a whole new car.
