  • 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.






  • It now takes Microsoft’s browser less than 300 milliseconds to start rendering the first parts of a website for users,

    I use edge only if I set up computers for others, and I don’t want to install firefox for just downloading an installer or something. You have 3 unskippable consent dialogs before you can even type the url, and the no button is on a different position on the dialogs, so you can’t click it through quickly. But I’m really happy these dialogs load more quickly, thank you microsoft for your hard work on making linux a viable alternative to more and more people.








  • 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.
