During Solène's Old Computer Challenge, I tried several CLI/TUI clients for Twitter. While none of them were particularly pleasant enough to make me want to use them long-term, rainbowstream was the least-bad one and what I ended up using for that week.

This is the heart of this post: Setting up a social tab where I (as a shy developer) can interact with the whole world. It consists of a pane for Twitter (made possible by rainbowstream, which automatically push new tweets to your timeline.

Rainbowstream is my favourite of the clients I have mentioned here. It is feature-rich, and enables a decent use of Twitter without being as distracting as the official clients. After installing Rainbowstream, run:

How to script telegram without using bots?

Telegram CLI
Send notification when a Telegram message is received. Which libraries are needed ?
1 project | /r/learnpython | 11 Aug 2022

Hmm I had some experience with Telegram bots. So if the case is that you just need the notification about new message to the stdout of the command line, I would suggest Telethon library. It acts as usual client, therefore it's not a bot and you don't have to register it at BotFather. Yet you'll have to create an application for https://my.telegram.org/apps and get credentials from there. Also check out unofficial CLI tool: https://github.com/vysheng/tg/

Fair enough, that seems to be the best course of action. From the Telegram website they list this unofficial CLI app, guaranteed this one won't take any GPU resources.

Ok this sure beats the living daylight out of my script with sed and other useless stuff. It did print out the output I needed in the subshell. I got a FAIL: 38: can not parse arg #1 from Telegram-Cli but this seems to be a known bug, besides the scope of my bash script. Thank you.

I tried a couple of those projects (to even somehow script them to make it automatic/daily) but no use. There is https://github.com/vysheng/tg which I was able to use to connect to telegram but trying to use https://github.com/tvdstaaij/telegram-history-dump/ failed with exception (mostly because of Ruby).

In this case, we are lucky. We have a well-supported CLI application, telegram-cli. To try this, after installing, run:
