# soviet-disk-quota-or-how-i-blew-it-all-with-one-command.txt ## Feb 17, 2022 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.
