C++ is everywhere, but noone really talks about it. What are people's thoughts?
Seems to be C, not C++ to me. The C++ code is GUI wrappers to C++ GUI systems.

Ask HN: IP cameras that don't require an app or internet
I bought a couple Amcrests just a week ago, and they still operate identically to ones I purchased back in 2017. They have apparently re-branded Dahua's software, since the HTTP APIs are identical, and there are still lots of "Dauha" strings in the configs[0].
I think a lot of the problems with IP cams aren't with the cameras themselves, but the poor state of open-source media players. Getting mplayer, ffplay, or vlc to play nicely with any ipcam has been a Labor of Hercules. If you're using the versions in repos--which are usually quite stale--all bets are off. I've had much better luck using the latest installers, direct from the project websites. So far, VLC seems to work best for me[1].

can't retrieve videos from Canon PowerShot SD1000
You'll need a player like VLC to view your clips. YouTube is built on ffmpeg and will blindly accept your videos. If you want to edit your clips you might have to convert your videos to another format and codec, depending on your editing tools of choice.

Searching for a GUI that allows me to run custom terminal commands
A summary of my use case: I like to watch Twitch streams via streamlink. For that purpose I use wtwitch, a terminal program which allows me to maintain a list of my favourite channels without a Twitch account, check which of those streamers are currently online and run a command to open their streams via streamlink.

Alternate Player for Twitch.tv
It's broken at the moment due to the update that killed the Alternate Player but Streamlink should be a good solution, it's active so it should be fixed soon and uses VLC or other compatible media players and Chatterino or Chatty for chat

Any new ways to block twitch ads?
Streamlink as well. There is an open issue on their Github.

PSA on supporting streamers
If you're okay with command-line interfaces, I find Streamlink is very good for this - I've never had to wait for any ad breaks when using it (but I almost never use it since I primarily use Twitch on mobile) so YMMV.
