    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.

      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.

                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. 👍

        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.

        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.

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.
