GNOME ☛ Christian Hergert: December Projects
Not all of my projects this December are code related. In fact a lot of them have been house maintenance things, joy of home ownership and all.
This week was spent building my new office and music space. I wanted a way to have my amplifiers and guitars more accessible while also creating a sort of “dark academia” sort of feeling for working.

Carlos Garnacho implemented a clever optimisation in the LocalSearch filesystem indexer, which reduces memory usage when crawling large folders. See the MR for details and a before and after comparison.
