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. |
