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

            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.

          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 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.

        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.

          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.

    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 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.
