01:24 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <atmolander> hi, i am looking to learn an ARM assembly language as a newbie, i've been stumped by the choice between ARM32 and ARM64. Whilst i do have access to an aarch64 machine, i don't know which one is better to learn first. Do i take ARM32 because it is more standard and compatible or do i take ARM64 because, well, 64-bits?

01:27 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <atmolander> honestly i feel like i may be a little out of this server's subject, but i haven't found anywhere else that may have an informed opinion about it (let me know if i am a little out of left field!)

15:35 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <spooky8086> I saw that Ubuntu 24.04 has all the linux-firmware blobs now compressed. I'm not sure how much disk space it saves, but may be worth some research.

15:36 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <rpardini> interesting, is it udev-magic or does the kernel itself support compressed firmware?

15:39 <DC-IRC> [Discord] <spooky8086> The kernel supports it, I could see some older drivers not wanting to use compressed firmware, but ive not run into any issues yet

15:50 <blathijs> Hm, what's the policy for caching kernels? I'm doing a local build of Armbian for rpi4b, and I get `Artifact is not available in remote cache [ ghcr.io/armbian/os/kernel-bcm2711-current:6.6.28-S4ff6-Db511-Pc089-Cb2aaHfe66-HK01ba-Vc222-Bc114-R448a ]`. Looking at the list of available tags (`curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $GHCR_TOKEN" https://ghcr.io/v2/armbian/os/kernel-bcm2711-edge/tags/list|jq`)

15:50 <blathijs> I only see 6.1 kernels, but https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/ does show 6.6.16 kernels (but not 6.6.18 as my local build, but that might be because the rpi kernel repo has moved on since the most recent armbian build maybe?)
