  • What would we get if we would switch to another arbitrary looking value? Also other units are based on other constants not just the speed of light, so at some conversion you would have to use similar strange numbers, you wouldn’t solve your problem you would just move it to elsewhere.

    And you rarely convert to lightyears, so the strange numbers are outside, and everyday units fit nicely together with base 10.

    And 1 liter or dm3 of water is roughly 1 kg, so the original meter is actually based on the density of water. It’s very convenient that you can convert between weight and length in your head.

    There is a history dashboard where you can change the date and which sensors you want to display: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/history/ You don’t zoom but you have to add dates, same 2 sensors look like this there:

    But it depends on the sensor if it supports this long term statistics, by default all data is saved only for 10 days, you can change these settings.

    If filtering and zooming is the most important aspect for you this may be not the best solution, as this graph displays are not the best. The most powerful feature is that you can add local data sources.




  • On Arch we have AUR, which is basically this. It doesn’t have this approval workflow, but you can vote for packages. Every package has a maintainer, who is responsible. pacman notifies you before update if a package became unmaintained, and you can apply to become a new maintainer, that’s how I became a maintainer of 2 packages.

    Since I started using arch I never installed anything the way you describe, everything is already in the AUR.





  • CoMaps has far less features, but that’s the point. Some people love the simplicity, they don’t need all the confusing and overwhelming options of osmand.

    Osmand has some performance issues on some devices, but Comaps was generally much more responsive on any device I tried it.

    CoMaps has 3d buildings. Its map is very nice, but this is subjective.

    CoMaps aims to be fully FOSS, this was not true for its predecessors, OM and Maps.me. Osmand is not fully foss.

    If you are perfectly happy with osmand you don’t really need it, but for new users who are only familiar with the very basic interfaces of other commercial map apps, it can be much more welcoming.
