       The first day I logged onto The Soviet I did what most new Sundogs do and poke
       around with the local tools and bbs. I did some basic attempts at setting up my
       gemini capsule, which I've done on another pubnix, and got a bit hung up on why
       it wasn't working, which just turned out to be a permissions error.
       
       After sorting that all out, I tried to look at The Soviet locally using the
       `bombadillo` gopher browser, which I've used in the past and have packaged for
       Debian. Unfortunately it gives a core dump, so something wasn't quite right with
       it.
       
       Today I finally poked around a bit more on the system, and cloned bombadillo
       from source and built it to see if there was any obvious bug, which to my
       surprise it worked.
       
       ```
       ecliptik@soviet:~/git/$ git clone https://tildegit.org/sloum/bombadillo.git
       ecliptik@soviet:~/git/$ cd bombadillo
       ecliptik@soviet:~/git/bombadillo$ go build
       ecliptik@soviet:~/git/bombadillo$ file bombadillo
       bombadillo: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1
       ecliptik@soviet:~/git/bombadillo$ ./bombadillo -v
       Bombadillo 2.3.3
       ```
       
       I moved it into `~/bin` and can now use it to browse some gopherholes.
       
       Next on my list was to see if I could locally build Amfora for gemini://
       browsing, but after cloning and doing a `go build` my terminal dumped a ton of
       errors about exceeding disk quota. I remembered that Sundogs have a smaller
       quota, and didn't even think about how many deps modern software pulls in,
       especially something as complex as Amfora. So after cleaning up `~/go` I brought
       my quota back to a reasonable use.
       
       After doing this and browsing local Soviet Cells I came across a fellow new
       Sundog, luna, who wrote a post about disk quotas and it's well worth the read.
