You can easily report if you're using kbin website, don't know how it works if you're using an app. You just hover over the "more" link and a dropdown appears with "Report" as the first option.
Aaaah thanks so much... I feel dumb now XD
I never thought of checking that, I was kinda looking for a way to report the user itself, not the post... I will start doing this too.
I'm using the webpage from the browser by the way.
I will be registering elsewhere to see if the experience is any better. I really like the overall direction and design of kbin, but things have been dragging on updates and improvements.
For example, my settings are identical as far as I can tell between desktop and mobile, but my mobile feed is generally hitting day old on the first page while desktop has several pages of more recent content. I walked through the settings side by side and they appear identical.
But I haven't reported it or searched to see if someone else has because of the absence making the effort to document and report less urgent.
I'll keep my account of course and keep an eye out if it picks back up because do like the browser based interface and the combo of lemmy and mastodon in a single feed.
I know the admin here recently had a minor surgery. I'm hoping for some kind of solution for when normal life stuff keeps him away. Like a few people just in charge of getting rid of spammers and worse people.
They seem to only be in very specific mags like fediverse, tech, and science. All of which have many subscribers but only have @ernest as their mod (I think science has another but they're absent).
I think the short-term solution is a) to get a few more mods on these
and b) for now I subscribe to technology instead of tech and something on another instance called fediverse_press instead of fediverse
Yes I was noticing that trend with the specific mags, but was also wondering if it was just the ones I'm following and others have it but I don't see it
I, personally, have been blocking the users submitting the spam. This isn't a good solution, but it does clear my feed out and make it so that I forget the spam is there until I see another user I need to block.
The other thing I have been doing is submitting content to my favorite magazines - if we actively engage the mags, we can force the spam down.
I do this, too, and I've been wishing there were a setting I could set where kbin would just auto-hide content submitted by accounts that have been blocked by at least X other accounts.
Yeah I am blocking too but wanted to help remove the accounts by reporting if I can. I should become more active but after years of inactivity in social networks it's hard to start again.
If you're on a desktop (or other large screen), click on the user name to go to their user page and there's a block button in the sidebar on the right. If you're on a mobile device (or other small screen), go to their user page and the block button should be prominent on the right of the "follow" button.
If you want to do a proper color calibration, lookup “color management” for your distro or desktop environment. You can load an ICC color profile, but you will need a colorimeter or spectrometer to create one.
The only way to resolve this situation is to get Ernest to delegate some of the instance moderation and amount. Every other path forward leads to failure.
If everything you have read is saying that it is fine, then why does it not feel right for you? Looking around I do get the same impression, it is non-combustible so there is not really a concern there. Basically from what I gather as long as you use the proper wire for use in walls/isolation, leave enough space and generally take good practices in account like using conduit where needed you should be good to go.
I am not an electrician though and certainly not aware of your local code and regulations.
Talking about electricians, if you are worried about doing it not right, why not hire one to do it for you?
I’ve been through 6 electricians and 3 general contractors. Probably more but I can’t keep those numbers straight. They all show up to give a quote then never actually do the work. I’m tired of it.
That being said, the insulation just feels flammable to me. It’s clearly marked otherwise but the paper backing and stuff just made me want to double check
#14 Romex on a 15A breaker is simply not going to get meaningfully hot, even under worst-case scenario loads and even fully insulated in something entirely flammable. If you're very nervous, size it up to #12 -- it will cost slightly more but be even more totally safe. Overbuilding is (should be) the DIYer's creed.
12/2 is what I bought for the basement lights I’m working on. Everything I read said that was the appropriate wire to use so I never even co sidered #14
Make sure you’re buying 14/2 or 12/2 that has a ground wire and running that back to the breaker box. I saw the job you did with the big cable in the floor and it didn’t look like you ran a new cable that had a ground wire. It’s best to replace the old shoddy stuff with circuits that are up to code, even if you’re doing it DIY and your area doesn’t require homeowners to get it inspected. The codes are designed to prevent fires and loss of life.
That was a 240v circuit. It didn’t have a ground because it was 10/3. I had the money to get the stuff with a ground, but they were sold out and I couldn’t get anything for a few weeks so I went with the no ground but it is still up to code and manufacturer approved.
This does have a ground and black is going to the breaker with white and ground going to the ground bar.
If it helps any fiberglass isn’t called that for funsies. It’s actually made of glass fibers in a resin. It’s not any more flammable or conductive than any other kind of glass/resin combination. The most important safety advice for using it is to wear gloves and protective glasses, because having lots of tiny glass fibers break off in you is super itchy, and your hands are right up in there, and itchy eyes are just the worst.
I knew it had glass in it but I wasn’t sure if that’s all it was made of. That and the paper backing just made me want to be cautious. But I do know how to handle insulation from tearing a room off my grandparents house a few years ago.
Ya, there is asbestos in the house. It is wrapped around the HVAC in the basement. We were told to get it removed now because it’s not yet a health hazard so I’m working on getting that done. It’s still in good condition and it’s not dangerous until it starts to flake away. But the insulation is newer from a remodel when the last owner turned it into a duplex. So within the last 10 years I am pretty sure
