fs_index

by @tombert

I thought it might be fun to have a “proper” search engine for my laptop, so I wrote a thing (with my fingers! No Claude Code or codex here!) to scan my home directory and put data into OpenSearch so I can search stuff.

This was very AI assisted. [1] https://git.brucewillis.sexy/~tombert/fs_index I promise it’s safe for work, despite the URL. That’s just my dev URL that I play with. Code is still a mess though, so proceed with caution. I will eventually clean it up. [2] https://git.brucewillis.sexy/~tombert/sourcehut_flakes
