hamster died a couple of years ago, it was a RPI1 and I have not bought one after. RIP to it. I still have dangomushi, a RPI2, based on armv7l and that's 32-bit. Heikki has chipmunk, which is a RPI1 last time we discussed about that. The good thing about those machines is that they are low-energy consumers, and silent. So it is easy to forget about them and just let them be. > Hmph ... three of my five buildfarm animals are 32-bit, plus I > have got 32-bit OSes for my Raspberry Pi ;-).

Those 32-bit modules are still being sold actively by the RPI foundation, and used as cheap machines for education purposes, so I think that it is still useful for Postgres to have active buildfarm members for 32-bit architectures. -- Michael
