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.

I wish I could say this is great, but it’s an unreadable mess. Looks like EEDT.

I could have gone and made it fit

That woulda been ever so lit.

But the effort was much

And the payoff was such,

I just didn’t bother to try it.

You want to be a poet,

And sought a place to show it.

You picked a strange host

And thread for your post,

This URL would be more fit!

It’s mainly about no Nazis.

Amcrest is all up in your business.

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

How can anyone read any of this? The graphic is unreadable to me.

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.

All of them.

Every news org. Every University. Every high school. The SPCA. Doctors Without Borders. Swing Left. Every brand that has a following: iCloud should include one with their services. Every band/performance group—I’m surprised They Might Be Giants hasn’t jumped on this.

The pie in the sky answer is “get all my friends and relations to use it.”

More realistically: I wish I could follow or friend a person here.

This has already happened many times. It’s just that those “competitors” are usually referred to as “ordinary people.”

It really, really isn’t. There’s a whole new strain making hospitalizations tick up. Every reinfection increases the chance of Long COVID. Vaccination does not protect from reinfection.

You are extremely naive about how COVID manifests and is transmitted.

Can’t say I’ve ever noticed an avocado at Costco that was ripe enough to bruise.
