vim 让背景透明 | make transparent background in vim

gnome-terminal 背景默认是透明的了（至少是ubuntu下），guake也可以弄成透明的，但是vim我用了colorscheme torte，结果背景是一坨黑，很不爽。

最近研究了一下，命令应该是hi Normal ctermbg=NONE，而且应该放到torte.vim里（直接放vimrc中colorscheme的后面没有用，没有再仔细研究）。于是把torte.vim放到~/.vim/colors里，改名，把Normal一行的ctermbg设成None。就好了。（当然vimrc里要加载这个新的颜色）

另外改guibg后gvim会报错，也没有再自己研究。我基本也不用gvim。

The background color of gnome-terminal has already been transparent, and so has guade. But (maybe since) I use 'colorscheme torte' for vim, the background is a huge black block, ugly...

So I check the help page in vim and found the command should be 'hi Normal ctermbg=None', it's no use if put below the 'colorscheme' scheme in .vimrc, I have to change the color file. So I move the torte.vim in to my ~/.vim/colors, changed its name，and changed ctermbg to be 'NONE' at the line containing 'Normal'. Then it's done (of course you need to load this new scheme file in vimrc)

Besides, gvim will show an error dialog if I set guibg to be NONE, don't know why but ok for me as usually I don't use gvim.

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...
