  1. First one is kinda small and simple **Trivial_Casts** 🔢➡️🔟

    > The trivial_casts lint in Rust is designed to catch what the Rust compiler considers to be "obviously unnecessary" type casts. These casts are often a result of typos or misunderstandings of how types work in Rust, and they can lead to unexpected behavior if not caught early on.

    When you cast one type to another, the compiler will automatically perform certain "trivial" casts that are considered safe and obvious. However, it might also flag cases where the cast is unnecessary because Rust can infer the correct type without any issues. These flagged cases are what the trivial_casts lint is designed to catch.

    Example:

    ```rust
    let square = Square([2; 8]);
    let square = &square as □

    ```

    #lotw

  2. Let me introduce new weekly thread that I want to have here - Lint of the week ( #lotw ). Every week I will post a new Rust lint that in my opinion should be used by most of the rust projects. Let's start!

  3. Сегодня нужно было экпортировать сертификат LoTW из TrustedQSL в файл p12 для Wavelog и QRZ.com. И никак не могли импортировать дальше - не найдено. Хотя сертификат внутри файла есть. Помучавшись некоторое время, наконец, как индеец Зоркий глаз узрел что в тюрьме нет 4 стены, так и мы обратили внимание на настойчивое "ОБНОВИТЕСЬ". Апнули TQSL до 2.8.2, экпортировали сертификат и всё отлично прошло...

    Обновляйтесь и читайте чаще ошибки. Это сохранит время и нервы. 😀

  4. I have 17,407 QSOs on LOTW, 13,467 confirmed for a 77% rate. Log covers the last 15 years.

    How's everyone else doing?

  5. It has taken 40 years but I finally got my #WAS award. I’ve lost my old logs and had to restart keeping logs multiple times until finally via #LoTW, eQSL.cc, QRZ.com, and #jlog electronically.😆

  6. While the USA democracy is failing... I'm one state short for #qrzcom 50 State and @arrl #LOTW WAS awards! I need #QSLs from NH and WV respectively. I've reconsiled the logs so...any day now? #hamradio

  7. I finally updated my Awards page on my blog from #ARRL #LoTW and it looks like I'm three (3) states away from #WAS on #12m (digital)!

    (I had not updated this page in a *year*, lol)

  8. Got my new Logbook of the World certificate this morning, installed it, and I'm back online (with my Linux computer) with LOTW. That was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. #hamradio #QLog #LOTW

  9. #LoTW, #clublog, and paper #QSL cards questions.

    1/ is it the case that cards sent to ARRL for checking are entered into LoTW by ARRL?

    2/ if 1/ is the case could I send a partial set of cards (ie fewer than required for an award) simply to get them in LoTW, and hence club log?

  10. Last chance to upload to Logbook of the World before they shut down for a systems upgrade. What was the ARRL thinking? Field Day is basically here. If this were my client, we would dual-upload, test, and schedule a date to cut over painlessly.

    You want young and middle-aged people to get involved? Great, I will, if I can recommend we not shut down for ham radio’s biggest “holiday” of the year. Even AI could recommend that.

  11. Did anyone who is not a member of the #ARRL receive an email about #LoTW, or is it just me?

  12. For this week's #hamchallenge : My primary logging software is #Wavelog. The webserver and backend database both run on virtualized machines in a #HighAvailability #Proxmox #cluster (same one that hosts this instance!). Those are backed up daily to another machine on site via PBS, then those backups are synced to a remote server running in a house in another city.

    In addition, my log is also synced to both #QRZ and #LOTW every 6 hours or so, but I didn't think it qualifies as a true backup, since there is some data which those logs don't record.

  16. @colin I do use Wavelog as my logging software. Ther I just configured my #LotW certificates and then forget about it. My logs get uploaded automatically and confirmed QSOs get downloaded automatically as well. Same goes for other services like #eqsl, #ClubLog and #qrz.

  21. I was sitting in my car bored, and thought I’d start calling out on simplex. Made my first non-repeater contact on 70 centimeters. Yes, most VHF/UHF bands have FM and SSB calling frequencies. No luck on 2 meters, 33 cm, or DMR simplex, but hey, not bad for five minutes of boredom.

    Now I have to figure out Logbook of the World.

  25. @BenDoubleU I'm a big proponent of #encryption, but needing to maintain cryptographic keys just to submit a #hamradio log is a bit absurd, especially when you consider the lack of security around the rest of #LOTW.
    I've been through the pain of requesting new keys after #tqsl decided that my exported keys weren't valid on my new machine for some reason.
    Now I keep my keys on my #Wavelog server and everything gets logged to there, then automatically synced to LOTW and #QRZ. Wavelog also does a great job tracking award progress, too, although QRZ has become my authoritative "source of truth" for awards.

  30. and they confirmed on #LoTW 😍

    Now I have #WAS on #80m #40m #30m #20m #17m #15m and #10m 👀

    I just need to finish off #12m WAS for the U.S., and if I get the right antenna setup soon, I'll try for #6m too

  31. @MW1CFN yeah, I prefer physical cards but I think some people automate sending these?

    I put them on my blog, k8vsy.radio/digital_cards.html

    That way I can still catalog them, but I ask people to still upload the contacts to #LoTW or #QRZ

  32. @chrisfarnham hi!

    Some of my favorite features of Cloudlog:

    * ability to do Live logging in CloudLog (I use this when at my main station)
    * so many fields to track info on a QSO/QSL, like if I received a physical QSL card, etc
    * ability to see custom maps/tables for different parameters (like WAS or countries) based on confirmations
    * analytics/stats on QSOs per year, mode, band, contests, etc

    these are just a few of my top fav features of #CloudLog 😃

  33. So, I did it lol

    I made a graph of my logging platforms/programs and the path my QSOs & QSLs take lol

    it isn't the best quality but, hopefully it conveys what is happening lol

  34. @K4HCK @croyle same, I don't really even log in to #QRZ much anymore, I still use it for logging/confirming contacts, but I interface with it and #LOTW via #cloudlog these days

    but to your point, the site of #eQSL is really dated lol

  35. What's the protocol for logging Nets on LOTW or QRZ. I started operating few months ago and I see that no station is adding logs for regular Nets or ragchews. Only when there is a new station on a random QSO, logs are created in my region.

    The site of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest, whose goals are (among others) to show the importance of programming style, in an ironic way; to stress C compilers with unusual code; to illustrate some of the subtleties of the C language and to provide a safe forum for poor C code.
