      Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work

      Must have been Russia. They dislike anything that is anti-corruption.

        I’d be willing to bet that their anti-corruption police are just as corrupt as their normal police.

        I’m guessing that these corruption police are just for appearances, or to be used to get rid of anything that Putin himself labels as “corruption”, since they work for him.

          Well there’s corruption that flows to you, but corruption that doesn’t flow to you? You better believe that’s a paddlin’.

            I would guess such a post is a pretty useful tool for Putin. Since everybody is corrupt in Russia, and that is an accepted fact, you always have some leverage over everybody with the looming threat of being charged for corruption if you happen to displease the czar.

        But since everyone is corrupt in Russia, anti-corruption means you can go after whoever you want to get out of the way.

          I figured out the culprit.

          Since logically, we would blame the second in command at the anticorruption police, the culprit is number 3 who’s hoping to frame number 2

      Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police

      Who knows but he probably had many enemies in his own team.

      Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police was killed while doing garden work at his country cottage in Shchetinovka, Russia - just 1,000ft from the Ukraine border.

      If he was with the anti-corruption police, it might have been someone in the military he was investigating for corruption.

        Or, and this might be a crazy theory, if he was only 1k feet from the Ukrainian border, maybe, just maybe, Ukraine got him, since he would be a high profile target and Russia is currently at war with Ukraine. He worked for Putin, so despite the “anti-corruption” title, the chances of him actually going after real corruption is slim to none. “Corruption” in this case probably just means “whoever Putin is mad at atm”. Even if he was killed by his own team for whatever reason, the one behind it would most likely be Putin himself.

        In Russia HOAs work differently. Basically the only thing they do is managing water distribution(pipes) and other infra. Except electricity, this done by distribution company.

        Municipality on the other hand will eat you ass uncooked if they find Sosnovsky Hogweed on your property.

      Uhh, it was financial police, not military or regular police. Basically office worker, that poorly does own job(considering scale of corruption in Russia).

      Popups suck. You should get firefox and ublock origin if you are on mobile. Otherwise, just get an adblocker if you are on desktop.

              I left that church after my last wrt router that was advertised as being supported wound up in fact not being “completely” supported.

                I don’t think you should be soured away from openwrt completely because its built for specific use cases with specifc routers

                And open source coders can’t reasonably create individual openwrt firmware versions for every router out there that quickly

                  No it was a linksys issue. But honestly I just replaced it was an Asus router and called it a day. It’s a nice concept and works well for some people’s use cases. It’s not difficult to implement but to me wasn’t justified.

                  One of the linksys routers that was advertised to support it, but the radio firmware was not officially supported and I had a lot of wireless connection issues so I replaced it.

                  Info from official openwrt website.

            Yeah which makes sense. If you don’t use custom dns then it’ll use the dns from the VPN provider. It’s more secure by default. 👍

            Glad you figured that out.

        I’m genuinely impressed, even with no advert blockers, I haven’t seen a popup in, oh, over a decade now.

        Browsers block popups by default these days unless you specifically authorise them for a particular website, I suspect that’s why.

    Just to complete story:

    1. He was working at Department for Combating Economic Crimes and Corruption, DCECaC(УБЭПиК) for short. Basically financial police.
    2. He was killed by bomb dropped from drone, not by kamikaze drone. It doesn’t look like what Ukrainians would do.

      I’ve watched tons of grenade drops from drones on the old site. What about this seems like not something Ukraine would do?

        Because they drop grenades on their territory and use kamikaze drones on Russia. And again, financial police? They could spend grenade much better.

    Meanwhile, in Belarus, Lukashenko is reconsidering his career aspirations. Maybe being Colonel in Polish army would be safer.
