Hi, Well, Linux systems for ARM have existed for ages NOW. Simply put, the energy consumption of ARM devices is far lower than intel’s crap. That’s why Apple is doing it, they have announced that intention years ago. Microsoft has started shipping tables for ARM, too, btw. Though, MS is not

One thing it potentially means is auto-generated insert/update-scripts fail, because they insert all fields, including computed columns. Don’t know how PostgreSQL-12 handles inserts on computed/generated columns though, this is speaking from experience with SQL-server computed columns. It’s not

One of our customers (Swiss National Bank) mandates the use of SSL in their internal LAN, even for DB connections. Using anything but SSL is an insecure mode of communication, even in LAN. RSA/DSA Accepted key-length is 2048 bit, recommended is 3072, ECC is 160 Bit, recommended 256. -

You could use the ODA File-Converter to convert dwg to dxf and vice-versa. https://www.opendesign.com/guestfiles/oda_file_converter It can also run as batch-process. Runs natively on Linux/Mac/Windows, 32&64 Bit. It's Freeware, AFAIK. That way you can guarantee it will always be able to read

Redmine also has a REST-API (JSON & XML). Since github also has an API (and also hooks), you could also synchronize GitHub/GitLab issues with Redmine and vice-versa. All you'd need to do is add custom-field on the redmine issues, so you could determine which issues are already synchronized.

Hi Martin, No, this means that PHP uses the 32-bit PDO-PostgreSQL-driver. The driver accesses PostgreSQL via TCP-IP/pipes/Unix-domain-sockets, thus you can have whatever bitness-server you want. Your PG server could just as well run on an ARM or a PPC or a MIPS-Godson/Loongson processor. You
