Happy Birthday to the #Arm Architecture! 
Today marks 40 years since the very first ARM chip was powered on; a major milestone in computing history. It has been a remarkable journey ever since. I still vividly remember purchasing the first commercial ARM-based computer around 1988, just a few months after Acorn Computers brought it to market. At the time, it was nothing short of revolutionary.

Today I was at the HQ of #arm in #Cambridge to talk to their staff about...
...er...
...the history of Arm! And computing in general :)
There are a number of mainboard options available for Ampere Altra ARM-based servers.
I would ideally like to buy a 128 core or higher 1U or 2U rackmount machine for running a (if possible, type 1) hypervisor and several Linux and FreeBSD instances on top.
Which boards/vendors can you recommend, which should be avoided? Are there any ARM-based alternatives you could recommend?

Vlog S03E48: In this episode, we install Slackware AArch64 on Apple Silicon using Parallels on macOS. A full install takes ~10 minutes.

I think we've covered all the hypervisors now ;-)
Have you ever looked at an NVMe drive and thought to yourself, ‘Hey, this would be 31.7% cooler with HDMI ports?’

What is the status on #firmware updates for #arm #Snapdragon Laptops?
Can they be updated with #fwupd, or do you need a Windows dualboot?
On #AsahiLinux you need a #MacOS partition to update the firmware. But the Snapdragon laptop firmware might be more open? Are there differences between manifacturers, like #Lenovo supporting fwupd normally?

#Arm verkauft aus Not #Organ (bekommt ~ $6.000), damit #Reich lebt (bezahlt ~ § 150.000) – widerlicher Gipfel der #Ausbeutung.
"Ich würde dem Spender ein Viertel von dem wünschen, was ich bezahlt habe", sagt Nierenempfängerin Kugler im Film. Der würde ja schließlich auch "in anderen finanziellen Verhältnissen" leben.

So small update on #linux on #arm chromebooks: the kernel installation process involves writing binary images as a partition instead of putting the #kernel files on a /boot partition.
To get the currently running kernel config I used "modprobe configs" and you get a compressed config under /proc/config.gz,
I copied and extracted the file to compile with mainline/gentoo kernel sources.
I added the drivers via "make menuconfig" and compiled the kernel.
Reminder that usually this is a monolithic kernel without initrd, so the drivers needed to boot the system are not compiled as a module.
Thanks to hexdump0815 for the documentation:
