How to get Feedly to work in Firefox 22/23

After the update to 22 in FF, my desktop access to Feedly stopped. It kept stalling on the oauth screen.

After many hours of research, I found out it was actually my Adblock Plus Pop-Up blocker that was causing the drama. Disabling this allowed me to login to Feedly again. Of course, I did not want this disabled, so here is what worked. I don't actually know why it works, it just did.

In Adblocks pop-up options, go to File > Add site rule.

Add *.feedly.com and choose "Handle pop-ups using Adblock Plus". It doesn't work if you choose "Allow all pop-ups".

It should now look like this and you should be good to login now.

How to check what entities are filling up your Home Assistant database

If you use the Home Assistant MariaDB add-on, this tip will show you how to query the database so see what Home Assistant entity states are triggering the most, filling up your database. What were going to do: Install the phMyAdmin add-on for MariaDB. Query the MariaDB database. See what entity state changes have the most action. Paste the code below into the SQL query box: select entity_id,count( * ) from states group by entity_id order by count ( * ) desc; And if you're using the internal home-assistant_v2.db instead, you can use the SQLite Web add-on to achieve the same thing.
