so I spent some time figuring out how to install and run SIFAS on android x86 running on a pc without an emulator

requirements

a wifi usb dongle or any kind of wifi connectivity - might be avoidable if you find an app that can trick android into thinking it's on wifi
your pc
dedicated hdd/ssd for android, or knowledge on how to set up grub to dual boot with your other OSes

buttery smooth vte/libvte with the 120fps patches

vte/libvte is extremely choppy because it's hard-capped to 40fps. all terminals based on it suffer from this, so I decided to make these quick n dirty patches for various vte versions that bump the cap up to 120fps

here's a 120fps video demostration https://streamable.com/j8i0n

also a 60fps clip on twitter if your browser can't handle 120 https://twitter.com/roriicon/status/1113186464332951559

quick n dirty notes so I don't forget

install qt (opensource version) https://www.qt.io/download and make sure to tick msvc2017 64-bit, Sources and Qt WebEngine. just pick whatever the latest version is, even beta seems to work fine
install python2.7 and add it to PATH. it might be necessary to also copy its executable to python2.exe https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
install https://sourceforge.net/projects/winflexbison/ and rename the executables to flex and bison. remember to add this to PATH

choco install -y strawberryperl gperf visualcpp-build-tools windows-sdk-10.0

on linux 4.19, I get

error creating new backup file '/var/lib/dpkg/status-old': Invalid cross-device link

when trying to install stuff on a ubuntu docker container. this seems to be an issue with metacopy https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-unionfs/msg06109.html

issue can be worked around by running

I recently wrestled with the clusterfuck that is iOS code signing, so here's my setup to set up a swift xcodegen project signed with a personal (free) provisioning team. this doesn't require an apple developer account, just a regular apple id.

you'll be able to build whole thing from the command line without ever have to touch xcode ever again.

this was tested with xcode 10.0 (10A255) on High Sierra
