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.

JohnDClay,

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

DrQuint,

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

legion02,

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

InverseParallax,

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

I’d like to think he was killed for planting the marigolds next to the petunias.

Corruption = anti-Putin

No, corruption = Putin.

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

And you are correct.

coffeebiscuit,

Well they are trying to free Ukraine from nazis with nazis,… so it’s kind of their m.o.

Laticauda,

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.

dogslayeggs,

No, they are making sure that corruption is done correctly.

Albbi,

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

ShaggySnacks,

I would say it wasn’t a paddlin’, more like an explodin’.

Badass_panda,

An explodlin’

yata,

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.

uis,

No, they are for checked box. FSB and GRU does all getting rid of.

Alexei Chernykh of Russia’s anti-corruption police

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.

Laticauda,

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.

I’m surprised he didn’t fall out of a window while mowing lawn. It’s anybody’s guess at his time.

@uis@lemmy.world avatar

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.
some_guy,

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?

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

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

ToyDork,

Yeah, this definitely sounds more like “it would be a shame if…” than an actual attack.

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.

toomanyjoints69,

I bet you used to call arabs towel heads. Im just an orc to you. Oh wait no Im ukrainian. That means im a special boy.

TransplantedSconie,

Waaaaaaaaaaa. sniff sniff Mom! A guy online called someone else online a fictional monster, and now I’m upset! Come hug me, because I’m easily emotionally triggered and a shithead!

toomanyjoints69,

I really like airships as a concept, but they have a major flaw in any universe where planes exist. A plane is much faster than an airship, so airships must be large enough for the mass transport of goods and people via them to be practical. If a plane can haul 10 people from London to Washington Dc in 10 hours, then an airship needs to be able to haul something more economical. Perhaps 100 people in 24 hours. Assuming some degree of technological stagnation, this consideration can allow a dieselpunk setting to have some degree of economic realism.

I really do like the idea of a world war one era for the technology in my airship setting, but I really do feel like I need to be careful when having planes be a part of the picture.

Similarly, I must make sure to have the combat exciting, and sometimes that means sacrificing realism for the sake of awesome air pirate fights. For example, having people run around on the deck of an airship is more important than whether or not running around on the top of a ship going that fast would actually work.

Thanks for reading this comment. I know it might sound like gibberish, but thinking out loud has really helped me work on my Communist steampunk yaoi. It will be very NSFW and involve themes based around the AIDs epidemic and drug addiction, both of which are subjects near and dear to my heart.

letsgocrazy,

Aww, are you jealous of the Ukrainians who are being invaded by your country?

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

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

NathanielThomas,

Too much popup ad rape on that link

Shave_MyBeever,

Thank you. I am a new Proton VPN with ad blocker user and it’s nice to know that it is working!

TopRamenBinLaden,

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

If your access point supports DD-WRT you can also integrate it there without needing another device.

Join church of OpenWRT

PutangInaMo,

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

x4740N,

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

PutangInaMo,

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.

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

Can you provide more info what router, what features and from where info?

PutangInaMo,

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.

uis,
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

Mediatek? Certanly not Atheros. What model?

PutangInaMo,

AC3200 I believe

uis, (edited )
@uis@lemmy.world avatar

openwrt.org/inbox/toh/asus/asus_rt-ac3200_r2.34

It says in bold red not supported. Not surprising for Broadcom.

forum.openwrt.org/t/…/65643

Seems what you said. Broadcom wifi chip code.

openwrt.org/meta/infobox/broadcom_wifi

DD-WRT has a license agreement and NDA in place with Broadcom that allow usage of better, proprietary, closed source wireless drivers (binary blobs) which they are not allowed to redistribute freely.

Broadcom has not released any FOSS drivers. Broadcom doesn’t support open-source much at all.

Basically bcm doesn’t want people to use opensource.

PutangInaMo,

Yeah it was some bullshit because the router is advertised as running WRT and there is an image for it, but that stupid radio chip fucked it all up.

    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.

    @obinice@lemmy.world avatar

    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.

    some_guy,

    Every time I read an article with large pockets of whitespace, I wonder how anyone can browse the web without ad blockers.

    x4740N,

    I’m haven’t seen any whitespaces so I guess ublock origin does a good job of removing white spaces along with the ads

    Yeah probably Ukraine though, he’s a legitimate military target within their operational range and currently was not on putins shit list

    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!”
