pictura-stainless 1.0.0 — легковесный аналог Pictura Noctis
Опубликован выпуск pictura-stainless 1.0.0 — утилиты для установки случайных обоев в Noctalia Shell (Quickshell). Проект создан как лёгкая и более быстрая альтернатива недавно вышедшей утилите Pictura Noctis, с добавлением поддержки других WM (автор использует sway).
Основные отличия
Скорость сборки и размер: программа не зависит от экосистемы крейтов и собирается Makefile слишком быстро.
Не все флаги совместимы.
Режим для скриптов: добавлен флаг -p, который печатает только путь к выбранному изображению, что упрощает использование утилиты c другими бэкендами обоев:
swaymsg output "*" bg "$(./pictura-stainless -p ~/Pictures/Wallpapers)" fill
Требования и сборка
Для сборки требуется GCC 13 или Clang 16 и выше:
git clone https://github.com/x6prl/pictura-stainless.git
cd pictura-stainless
make
make install PREFIX=$HOME/.local
GCC младше 14 и Clang младше 18:
make CSTD=gnu2x
Нестрипнутый исполняемый файл может показаться великоват
$./pictura-stainless -v
pictura-stainless 1.0.0
$du -h pictura-stainless
24K pictura-stainless
Но strip позволит сократить его размер ещё на 4KБ.
Исходный код написан на языке Си и распространяется под лицензией GPLv3.
Автор отмечает, что альтернативная реализация не только значительно упрощает поддержку кода, но и положительно сказывается на производительности за счет использования современных подходов к управлению памятью. При этом сравнительных замеров не производилось, а оригинальный код Pictura Noctris не был даже скачан.
Инструкции по интеграции с вашим любимым WM
Собранные бинарники для x86_64 и aarch64

📰 Cache Aware Scheduling Fixes Queued For Submission To Linux 7.3, Backporting To 7.2
Later this week it looks like the latest round of Cache Aware Scheduling fixes will be merged for enhancing this kernel scheduler functionality for grouping related tasks together on CPU cores that share the same last level cache (LLC). Cache Aware Scheduling can lead to better cache locality and lower latency by avoiding the costs of potential cache bouncing -- that is when bugs don't get in the way...

OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek take AI safety to the UN Security Council
OpenAI, Anthropic and DeepSeek brought competing AI powers into the same United Nations Security Council briefing on September 23, warning that increasingly capable systems could improve themselves, evade human control and create international-security risks. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also urged governments to establish benchmarks for measuring model capabilities and corporate safeguards.

Huawei’s UnifiedBus targets the networking bottleneck in agentic AI
Huawei is shifting its AI infrastructure pitch from faster accelerators to faster connections between them. At Huawei Connect 2026, the company introduced UnifiedBus alongside the Atlas 960E SuperPoD, claiming the architecture can reduce latency, increase bandwidth tenfold, and scale systems for massive agentic-AI workloads.

Cloud Range gives SOCs a proving ground for AI agents
Cloud Range, a cyber range platform for simulating enterprise security operations and adversary attacks, has launched an AI Validation Range and AI Readiness Framework designed to show whether security agents are safe to deploy—not merely whether they can complete a task. A security operations center (SOC) is the team and technology responsible for monitoring, detecting, investigating, and responding to cyber threats. Organizations can test agents against realistic attacks, compare their results with human defenders, and identify where human approval remains necessary.

Similarweb and Chartbeat reveal how AI is starving media sites of search traffic
New data from Similarweb and Chartbeat, reported by Axios, shows how AI-driven search and chat interfaces are cutting deeply into the referral traffic and engagement that once supported news websites. Google appears to be the main culprit: its AI Overviews answer more queries directly, reducing the need to visit original sources. Similarweb recorded just 47.6 million U.S. visits to about 100 major news sites in July, down from more than 70 million at the 2024 peak, while AI referrals remain too small to compensate.

Claude Opus 5.5 cuts long coding-session costs with cheaper cache reads
Claude Opus 5.5 is designed for the way developers now use coding agents: longer sessions, larger contexts, and fewer interruptions. Anthropic says the model can cost about 40% less than Opus 5 on typical token-billed workloads, with the biggest savings coming from cached context and fewer wasted turns.
