but laying that aside, x86_32 a) significantly larger than both
ARM arches combined, and b) roughly 10% of the "user base".

IG has until September 8th to

So, anyone who still uses i686: Now's a great time to join up.

Hi folks,
I'm looking to swap reviews for brd, a tool that scans directories and
files for damage due to decay of storage medium:
