@prologic@twtxt.net Thanks @prologic@twtxt.net !

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!

#twtxt

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Bahahaha so do it all the time 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Some good points here that I share and empathize with 🙌

@bender@twtxt.net I see hmmm 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Zulu said:

what is twtxt for you?

For me Twtxt is just the underlying format that Yarn.social builds upon 😅

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Ahh cool! I’ll try following it again 🤣 Mind @-mentioning/linking@twtxt.net the feed again? 🙏

@quark@ferengi.one I know! I saw three Hacker News posts on it in a row 🤣

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Haha 🤣 We’ve explored this idea in the past and we decided that it’s actually a good idea to have an “append-only” feed for various reasons. We’ve also explored the idea of using Range requests, but opted instead to just archive/rotate our feeds periodically 😅 There really isn’t much point in having a feed in reverse chronological order, except (maybe?) so a human read view the new twts at the top of the file?! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net “curated” channels (you can see the guide to see the topics it covers), without the ability to fast forward, nor pause. You know, like live television.

@bender@twtxt.net This is just a website that cycles through random Youtube channels? 🤔

@prologic@twtxt.net check this out. It will make YouTube great again. :-P

Proposal: Change the order of twts in the feeds

I drop the bomb and leave! 💣 🏃‍➡️
#twtxt

@bender@twtxt.net I use it. It’s not the feature I use the most in the fediverse, but I communicate this way with several friends. For example, it’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 it’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, here’s a topic we’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 😄
I look forward to hearing from you @eapl.me@eapl.me !

@movq@www.uninformativ.de @aelaraji@aelaraji.com Yes @david@collantes.us It would be good for me, or new developers, if the documentation were agnostic. And if possible with many example cases. I’m fine-tuning the code as you inform me of bugs, trial and error. It’s a lesson to be learned for the future.

@prologic@twtxt.net Sorry! I have fixed a bug and I edited the feed 🫠

@bender@twtxt.net Ahh yes you caught me 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net really? Then we have a problem with bulleted lists. Let me see:

• This is one.
  
• This is two.
  
• This is three, and final.

@bender@twtxt.net Not copy/paste 🤣 Hand on heart! ❤️ However it was a pretty nice article 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net was this a copy and paste? I am betting $100 it was. DM me for more information. 😅

@prologic@twtxt.net regex is unholy what am i looking at

@prologic@twtxt.net i saw this! so fucked up

@bender@twtxt.net No worries 😉

@prologic@twtxt.net your father, and I, will be very happy. Thank you!

@bender@twtxt.net Lemme look at the old backup…

@prologic@twtxt.net I don’t recall; ask prologic! :-D. I know your father has also mentioned it in the past (one thing I know him and I agree with, LOL).

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz it’s fixed now but lol i’m so good at this stuff aren’t i

@prologic@twtxt.net your live posting when something goes wrong is environmental storytelling it’s so funny help

@kingdomcome@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz at least ur hair kicks ass….

@bender@twtxt.net

I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though.

Recall what we had this set to for this pod? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Really? Wow! 😂

@bender@twtxt.net Hah 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net meanwhile we have all Korean shamans busy asking for rain. We haven’t had rain for over a month, and the next possibility is at week’s end, this week. Keeping fingers crossed!

And yes, UPS everything! We even have UPSes on TVs.

All these remind me of the “blog” ability once existed in Yarnd. I hate to be the party pooper, but little to non interest from me. LOL. I am up to increase the length of a twtxt, though. It is rather limiting right now.

I am not doing good tonight, twtxt nation. But at least my hair is bangin.

@prologic@twtxt.net That was a different view: https://movq.de/v/7fb10a825d/picam-small.mp4 🎥

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So cool! 😎 Where’s the time lapse video you used to have of this tree? 🌳 Hmm 🧐

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Yeah I know 🤣 I found another bug in lextwt 🤦‍♂️ This whole DM / bang-mention thingy has thrown a spanner in the works 🔧 – Even if I wanted to implement it, I’m not even ready to try at the moment 😢

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh, that’s beautiful!

I opened up all the photos in new tabs and went through them. For a second, I wondered that it was snowing at your place right now. :-D

That made me realize that so far we basically had nearly no April weather whatsoever. May might be full of it then, let’s see. :-)

@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de @bmallred@staystrong.run @ionores@twtxt.net Thank you! Yeah, the yellow meadows look truly awesome.

Watching “Happy People: A Year in the Taiga” in German the evening before, this thing totally looked like a trap to us. So, we decided to sit on another, more rustic bench nearby. :-) Oh neat, it turns out, there is a much longer four part series of the documentary in English on YouTube. Highly recommended! This is part one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbhPIK-oBvA

Judging by the surroundings, I think this is actually a forest altar or something of that nature. But it looks like they started with the chappel’s reinforcement steel and then they ran out of money before completing it or even placing the concrete forms. :-P

Yeah, 78 might be photo of the month. It’s one of my favorites.

@prologic@twtxt.net I think they’re there, I have a bunch of them 😅 https://movq.de/v/173a153d01/s.png

@kate@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz (as I was trying to say…), Glad you think so👌 My goal with Yarn.social has always been to provide the best (best that I can anyway) truly decentralised (slow) social experience that uses the Twtxt format under the hood 😅

@xuu@txt.sour.is As I also mentioend on IRC I think this is a. bug?

Holy hell?! When I post this:

Something is swallowing it.
