I’m not talking about a long-ago problem. I’m talking about a current install of Ubuntu.

I’m a very casual Linux user and in my experience, I’ve NEVER had a problem with a documented solution that didn’t require going down a rabbit hole of other references.

Something like this: “To get the trackpad to work with Ubuntu, make sure you’ve installed the hergelbergelXX package.” (No link, find it on your own!)

Visit the HergelBergelXX page. To install Hergelbergel on Ubuntu, you must install the framisPortistan Package Manager. (No link!)

On the FramisPortistan GitHub readme, we discover it requires the JUJU3 database system to be installed. “JUJU3 may cause conflicts with installed USB devices under Ubuntu” JUJU2, which shipped with Ubuntu, is no longer supported. Also we recommend Archie&Jughead Linux over other distributions.

And this essentially never stops.

All of this is comparatively a happy result—I actually DID post a question on linuxnoobs about getting my trackpad to work with Ubuntu… and have not had a single reply. I have no idea how to find out how to make it work.

Amcrest is all up in your business.

Think you replied to the wrong person. I don’t like or recommend Amcrest.

I’ve owned a bunch of Foscam cameras, a sub-brand owned by Amcrest.

Amcrest and its Foscam sub-brand seem very interested in getting access to your cameras, have less capable and less convenient software, and the cameras themselves seem less well built than Reolink.

I bought a half a dozen V1 Wyze cams, and at least two of them have failed. I won’t touch that brand again. I also would never have used Wyze at all except for the exploit that allowed custom firmware installation for real local access and control.

And probably four times the quality. If I could go back in time and choose Reolink for every camera I have, I would. In a heartbeat.

Maybe if you’re a deep Linux head, but the rabbit hole of “first do x, which requires y, which requires z, which requires….” Seemed infinitely deep for me, who has only a passing familiarity with Linux.

Again, I’m talking about Node Red on HA CORE.

Node red is the most notable example.

You must not be talking about HA Core. Because some of those add-on additions are just straight up impossible for Core, as far as my experience.

It sure does not. Not for me, anyway. I still see upvoted posts.

Or maybe the server isn’t registering my upvotes?

Yes please! I’m not visually challenged, and I can barely tell the differences.

Sounds like you’re with the oppressors.

Seems weird to me they’re de-federating from world but not from the very problematic ml.

Yeah, I want both.

Sadly, it seems that on desktop you have to OPEN the post, you can’t just expand it if there’s an image.

Let’s see. Here’s Tank Man.

Still have 18 days of free api, don’t we?

Suggestions on automating this?

Pretty sure community admins add value in well run subs, but I take your point.

You subscribe or what? Different accounts?
