The reason seems to be that emulation is so slow, `go get` gives up before the TCP connection is established. It also takes ~60 CPU minutes to get to that point (where `arm64` only takes a few CPU seconds to get there). This can fully be a problem of my Qemu version etc (using Ubuntu 20.04 via WSL2).\r\n- The `yarn` steps take a while on `arm64`. This seems to be because it needs to compile a lot of these dependencies, as many don't seem to have an `arm64` precompiled variant.\r\n- webpack on native machin"
