I just realized that `let _ = ...` and `let _foo = ...` behave differently in #rust.

The former drops the value immediately while the latter drops it at the end of the scope. This almost never matters due to the borrow checker but this was resulting in my tracing context being broken because I was calling `let _ = span.enter()` and the guard was being dropped right away.

Another month has passed, time for another update to our overview of F-Droid apps published with Reproducible Builds (now featuring a list of all RB apps as well): September saw 10 new RB apps added, 1 existing app switch to RB, 2 RB apps archived, and 1 disabled, making 199 RB apps in total.

Когда я открываю проекты спустя несколько месяцев то задаюсь вопросом, а какой идиот это написал? Ах, да. Это же был я...

А вот и The Chalkeaters родили новую песенку по TES Skyrim:

#ElbrusPosting #SavingPrivateElbrus

Almost two weeks ago I posted few photos of broken dead server motherboard with Elbrus CPUs here: https://suya.place/notice/AXM42m5imbeLOhbEfI

So with the big help of @axxieflex, we went and bought it. As was expected, the board and the chassis are in absolutely worst state.

He also contacted some people at MCST to get a diagnosis and possible repair, and they agreed to help. Today I went to their office and left the board for them. The best outcome I'm hoping for is that some of the CPUs are alive and working. North bridge IC is probably dead, but I still hope they would be able to re-ball it. If that's true, survived chips could be installed on a new motherboard, and finally we will get a working machine for reverse-engineering purposes.

In the end, I want this machine to be connected to some kind of KVM and JTAG debuggers and available for enthusiasts to test their bootloaders, kernel and custom drivers on it, remotely.

So here comes the e-begging part. The repair would still probably cost around 100k rubles or more (which is anyway cheaper than a new workstation board). We also need to get a new chassis, KVM, some video card, RAM sticks, disks, and other stuff. I think $2-2.5k is expected for now. You can help us with that.

P.S. You also can give me any ideas for a simplistic OpenE2K logo, that would be very appreciated. :)

Burns: Well, everybody knows, ‘war is hell`

Hawkeye: War isn’t Hell. War is war, and Hell is Hell. And of the two, war is a lot worse.

Father Mulcahy: How do you figure that, Hawkeye?

Hawkeye: Easy, Father. Tell me, who goes to Hell?

Father Mulcahy: Um, sinners, I believe.

Hawkeye: Exactly. There are no innocent bystanders in Hell, but war is chock full of them – little kids, cripples, old ladies. In fact, except for a few of the brass, almost everybody involved is an innocent bystander.
