Neither has suffered a hard drive failure, but I just replaced a failed drive on my laptop. I need at least two new computers to take over if they fail.

Travis does only Linux and macOS, its Linux is Ubuntu Trusty and Xenial (I'm running Bionic, and I think Trusty is too old for the version of CMake I require), and AFAICT it doesn't have big-endian.
