whitequark: I tried changing your LD_PRELOAD module to work with the fcitx IM directly rather than the XIM emulation, but it doesn't seem to work
<rqou>
is that just not possible, or is there some other weird thing happening?
<rqou>
wait, definitely "some other weird thing" is happening
<whitequark>
>Sublime Text 3 input method fix only works when executing from terminal, such as subl .
<whitequark>
meh
<whitequark>
anyway I know how that hack works
<whitequark>
it's really bad, it's sniffing for the caret in an awful way and positioning the IM window there
<whitequark>
I find it disgusting
<whitequark>
well some other parts are not that bad

is it possible to make my own ultrarisc t2 using fpgas?
<whitequark>
ultrasparc?
<theMagnumOrange>
sorry yeah
<whitequark>
it'll be pretty slow but i don't see why not, they had to debug it somehow
<theMagnumOrange>
im only going to be using it for a router
<theMagnumOrange>
which brings the next question, what about the motherboard?
<whitequark>
dunno, depends on the kind of router you want to make
<whitequark>
why bother with a sparc? route in gateware instead

hm, ok, LEON is only 32 bit...
<qu1j0t3>
theMagnumOrange: S1 Core is 64 bit. That would save you some work. :)
<qu1j0t3>
theMagnumOrange: but why not just buy a SPARC?
<theMagnumOrange>
ive thought about that
<theMagnumOrange>
but the server blades are so big
<theMagnumOrange>
and the lack of ssds
<qu1j0t3>
i got my UltraSPARCs over 10 years ago, companies were just throwing them out
<theMagnumOrange>
and ide rather not buy off ebay
<qu1j0t3>
ssds is likely solvable. in fact, a scsi adapter is a much more practical project than building a cpu+motherboard
<qu1j0t3>
assumign there isn't something off the shelf (there are several scsi adapters designed for retro purposes)
<qu1j0t3>
theMagnumOrange: were you planning on designing the cpu core yourself or using one of the existing ones?
<theMagnumOrange>
no, I was planning on using the opensparc t2 and synthesizing an fpga, but tbh I am in over my head and still learning
Zarutian has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<qu1j0t3>
yeah, try a simpler cpu first...
<qu1j0t3>
then try interfacing it...
<theMagnumOrange>
but if I could get an ultrasparc t2 from a trustworthy source...
<qu1j0t3>
theMagnumOrange: there's no problem with ebay
<qu1j0t3>
but your choice
<qu1j0t3>
actually there are routes you can go that don't involve ebay.
<qu1j0t3>
join the Sun Rescue mailing list and ask there. UltraSPARC systems are routinely traded.
<qu1j0t3>
there's also the cctalk mailing list, you can ask there too.

whitequark: when I try to use that hack it seems to work when not started from a terminal as well
<rqou>
also, is the caret hack the part that also makes backspace work or is that a different thing?
<rqou>
i mostly just care about backspace working correctly
<whitequark>
hm not 100% sure
<rqou>
this is a clusterf*ck btw; i think i mentioned that already

yes, complain to the new sublime maintainer
<whitequark>
he is active and actually responds to bug reports
<rqou>
no, i meant that IMEs on linux are terrible
<whitequark>
oh

VHDL almost had another really hilarious un-feature
<rqou>
with the visibility rules
<rqou>
however, they managed to hack their way around it: "At a place in which a given declaration is visible by selection, every declaration with the same designator as the given declaration and that would otherwise be directly visible is hidden."
