   Wow, I've actually followed exactly that gist on my Oracle freebie   
   VPS. It's a good guide but not suitable for the old Pi. I'm not sure of   
   the other one. Anyways, I'm not looking to install Debian on this.   
      
   I did see a blog post here   
   https://k1024.org/posts/2023/2023-10-31-raspberry-pi-upgrade-crossgrade/   
   about armhf to arm64 crossgrading which isn't really positive on the   
   process although he was apparently successful. Then again, he had   
   Raspberry PI OS and a Pi4 and a Zero 2 W, my CM3+ and Ubuntu might hit   
   other snags.   
      
   What I'm planning is either retire or replace the thing, I actually have   
   a cheap refurb mini-PC to take its place running Debian currently or   
   cross grade to amd64 so I would need no changes and have support until   
   2030 or maybe upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. But I have until 2025 to   
   decide.   
      
   As it happens, during the Xmas break I got around to playing with my   
   RTL-SDR software radio and getting some weather data from my outdoor   
   wireless temperature/humidity sensor. Works fine but the rtl_433 package   
   on Ubuntu 20.04 is too old, I'd need a newer rtl_433 to easily support   
   the sensor I have. One point in favor of upgrading Ubuntu.
