      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 like to think he was killed for shaking down the normal police for bribes to cover their corruption.

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

      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 (with access to drones) that he was investigating for corruption.

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

          Heads up…only after checking their documentation that this does not interfere with Proton’s own DNS. I use a different VPN provider and they specifically advise not to use a ‘custom DNS’ in conjunction with their own as it is not supported with their own end-to-end solution.

                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.

        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.

      Fucking ballsy to just be hanging out 300 yards from the border of a country you’re at war with like, “This lawn ain’t gonna mow itself!”

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
