on a scale of either (a) don't ride it at all even once, (b) ok for a ride tomorrow but change them asap, or (c) not a problem at all - how bad is it if a rotor gets rusty?

i haven't used my mtb for a while 😥

there also seemed to be a bit of white residue round the hub/rotor area. don't think that's a problem as it seems to clean off but curious as to what it is/why it's there.

It'll be fine.
The pads will soon clear the braking track.
Take it off and clean off the white corrosion from the hub though.
