6年博客回顾

这个blog写了6年了，还依稀记得当初促使我开始写blog的那次事故，那次真的是惊心动魄。

回顾一下以往的文章，这几年里发文数量和长度都是指数级递减，但愿质量没有一起下滑。不过这未必是坏事，至少说明了两件事情：
  • 我的水平在提高，很多问题已经不值得写blog来积累了
  • 技术在进步，我遇到的问题越来越少了
的确这六年里发生了很大变化：
  • Blogger改版了，终于有了ReadMore功能，我的脚本可以退休了
  • Ubuntu越来越靠谱了，越来越不需要折腾了
  • 很多我喜欢的旧技术被淘汰或即将被淘汰：flock，python2,  Google Desktop, Google Notebook, 各种Linux QQ
  • 很多新技术诞生发展壮大，但总感觉跟我不沾边：智能手机，微博，微信，Windows 8
 不变的是我还是喜欢折腾技术，宁可看上一天C++文档也不想看微博上各种“今天我又郁闷了”。

Blog也换个主题好了。

各位看官，如果你知道我认识你，而你又有技术blog的话，烦请（再）发我一次地址。估计之前Google Reader里手抖，误删了许多。。。

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...
