This code displays the last 10 lines of a twtxt feed without a full dowload.

FEED_URL="https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt"
MAX_RANGE=$(curl -sI $FEED_URL | grep -i 'content-length' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d '\r')
MIN_RANGE=$((MAX_RANGE - 5000))

curl -s --range "$MIN_RANGE-$MAX_RANGE" "$FEED_URL" | grep -v -e '^#' -e '^$' | head -n 10

My self-response!

(#2zhuzoa) @bender@twtxt.net I use it. Itā€™s not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, itā€™s the main way I talk to the original creator of the twtxt-el repository, the way people greet me for the first time or the way they notify me of some bugs in the software I maintain. I can even tell you that itā€™s the main way I talk to some maintainers of the Emacs community. If there are any of you reading my words, speak up!
Why not have the same? There are things I want to say to @prologic@twtxt.net in private, why should I have to send him an email or private IRC? Or an public twt.
Of course, hereā€™s a topic weā€™ve already talked about: what is twtxt for you? For me it will always be a social network, in microblogging format, but an asynchronous way of communicating. And having a tool to control visibility is basic šŸ˜„
I look forward to hearing from you @eapl.me@eapl.me !

(#vleuoyq) After reading you, @eapl.me@eapl.me, Iā€™ll tell you my point of view.
In my opinion, a feed does not have to be equivalent to a timeline. A timeline is a representation of the feed adapted to a user. You may not be interested in seeing other peopleā€™s threads or DMs. But perhaps they are interested in seeing mentions or DMs directed at them. It is important not to fall into the trap. With that clarificationā€¦
I insist, this is my point of view, it is not an absolute truth: I donā€™t think extensions should be respectful of customers who are no longer maintained.
We cannot have a system that is simple, backwards compatible and extensible all at the same time. We have to give up some of the 3 points. I would not like to give up simplicity because it will then make it harder to maintain the customers who do stay. Therefore, I think it is better to give up backwards compatibility and play with new formulas in the extensions. I donā€™t think itā€™s a good idea to make a hash keep so much load: a hashtag, a thread and also a DM.

(#l4doaxa) @david@collantes.us If I run

printf '%s\n%s\n%s' 'https://aelaraji.com/twtxt.txt' '2025-04-16T22:49:11+00:00' "Am I tripping or ```rsync` is actually THIS effing faster than `scp`!!? šŸ«Ø" | b2sum -l 256 | awk '{ print $1 }' | xxd -r -p | base32 | tr -d '=' | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' | tail -c 8

I have xqfsv6a. It is raw text

Butā€¦ If I change de date to 2025-04-16T22:49:11Z I have si4er3q.

(#vleuoyq) @bender@twtxt.net For example:

If you can see this twt in any feedā€¦

xxxx-xx-xxTxx:xx:xxZ	!<bender https://twtxt.net/user/bender/twtxt.txt> U2FsdGVkX1+QmwBNmk9Yu9jvazVRFPS2TGJRGle/BDDzFult6zCtxNhJrV0g+sx0EIKbjL2a9QpCT5C0Z2qWvw==

It is for you. Any other possibility must be ignore (hidden in your timeline).

If your client doesnā€™t have the posibility to decrypt the twt, hide all direct message. It is all :)

(#zwr3hiq) @prologic@twtxt.net @bender@twtxt.net @eapl.me@eapl.me I think opening another file is a bad idea because it adds complexity to the clients, breaks the single feed and I think keeping legacy clients will be more complex to add new features in the future. A modern approach is important.
Iā€™ll be honest, Iā€™m a bit tired of the fight around the direct message. Perhaps, we can remove it as an extension and use the alternative @prologic@twtxt.net . My suggestion apparently doesnā€™t like to the community. I have no problem with remove it.
