Thats an older GE breaker I think. In my experience probably 2% of the ones I get are crap tbh. Easy fix though, just swap it. I see stuff like this a lot, either it won't switch off or trip correctly or just dies.
It must be, every time I've ever had a problem with electricity if you look back far enough it was an electrician that set it up. Coincidence? I think not
I don't have any inside information, I've just read lemmy comments about it, but apparently there are a lot of source IP's they block. I don't know that I've ever seen a reason why, but I'm guessing for either legality or privacy reasons.
My condolences to you. A VPN might help, though I think those are a lot of what they block. My phone (which is my primary method of accessing lemmy) has an always on VPN; some endpoints work for catbox, some don't.

Just replace it with a coat hanger, now your circuit will never break.

An FU-se you say?

Don't know if it's also for the old ones but modern breakers one more layer of safety that won't let power through if you hold it.

Pretty normal problem, as an electrician

The problem is an electrician?

They forgot to say "Hold on to your butts" before flipping it. That's the problem.

that's pretty lame. 🤷 guess I don't get to have fun.

Catbox is blocked in a lot of countries iirc.

Some ISPs have decided to lick the boot. They abuse their position and alter DNS results, among their many other sins.

Why is the "Stále VYP." (Always OFF) one on?
