两款绘图软件比较 Gimp vs Krita

配好了绘图板之后，手一直痒痒的。之前看着Photoshop绘图教程，在Painter上作画，感觉还不错。但是一直是想转移到Linux下面来的，指示软件硬件一直都没有配好。现在硬件好了，还是看软件。

首先得说一下我的情况，这代表我的立场。我主要应用是徒手作画，图像处理方面则不怎么要求。我常用的工具就是画笔，喷枪和涂抹。另外我当然希望软件对绘图板能够很好得支持，事实上~~我对Painter对绘图板的支持不是非常的满意~~，我的手写板最近才更新了一次Vista驱动，修正了若干bug，包括lag。

两个软件我都就自己的需要尝试了一下，版本为
Gimp 2.4.6
Krita 2.0a6

那么分别说一下各自的优缺点吧

Gimp:
优点：支持文件格式多，工具多
缺点：总觉得界面不够友好

Krita:
优点：绘图板响应虽然有点慢，但是出来的线条非常好看，比如Pixel Brush
缺点：适合手绘的工具较少，也没有我喜欢的三角形＋环形的颜色拾取器。使用RGB模板经常Crash

当然了也很有可能我对软件的挖掘还不够。目前暂时考虑用Gimp画一幅试试看。

Determine Perspective Lines With Off-page Vanishing Point

In perspective drawing, a vanishing point represents a group of parallel lines, in other words, a direction. For any point on the paper, if we want a line towards the same direction (in the 3d space), we simply draw a line through it and the vanishing point. But sometimes the vanishing point is too far away, such that it is outside the paper/canvas. In this example, we have a point P and two perspective lines L1 and L2. The vanishing point VP is naturally the intersection of L1 and L2. The task is to draw a line through P and VP, without having VP on the paper. I am aware of a few traditional solutions: 1. Use extra pieces of paper such that we can extend L1 and L2 until we see VP. 2. Draw everything in a smaller scale, such that we can see both P and VP on the paper. Draw the line and scale everything back. 3. Draw a perspective grid using the Brewer Method. #1 and #2 might be quite practical. #3 may not guarantee a solution, unless we can measure distances/p...

Hardware Password Manager

[Updates 2025-01-20] The original blog post assumes that all passwords are stored in one password manager, and the password manager either unlocks everything or nothing (e.g. Keepass). After discussing with friends, I realized that if I use something like pass , and I use a hardware GPG token, I can actually store and sync all encrypted passwords to all devices, because I will only decrypt the passwords on demand, and the computer will not see the GPG private key. The compromise is that the computer will see the list of all password entries (e.g. accounts), as well as a few other issues . I've been using Keepass for many years. I don't use online password services because I cannot fully trust them. Besides, I may not always have Internet connection, which is why I also don't use a self-hosted service. Everything has been working fine, until I turn my paranoid knob to the max. Here's the thought experiment . The Imaginary Scenario Let's say I have 100 PCs for differe...

ESP32S3: Flash Encryption and Secure Boot

Flash encryption and secure boot are useful security features for ESP32S3 chip. While not perfect, they definitely make it harder to extract the secrets in the chip. However, it is tricky to enable both features at the same time. The topic is actually discussed in the official documentation: ESP32S3 Security Features Security Features Enablement Workflows Especially, the second one mentioned it is recommended to enable flash encryption before secure boot. But I still find the documentation confusing. In the end I was able to successfully enable both, here's my findings. My Understanding After my adventure, here's what I think could have worked. WARNING, this is untested. Follow Security Features Enablement Workflows : Burn all the keys, as long as their purpose eFuses and read/write protections Burn other security eFuses, but DO NOT burn ENABLE_SECURITY_DOWNLOAD in the middle, which is mentined at the end of the instruction for both flash encryption and secure boot. Burn...
