Are there still places with vibes anymore? Or did the internet kind of kill it?

I feel like digital spaces have vibes. Nostr has a vibe for sure, but everywhere I go (in America at least) feels flat, steril and homogenous now.

People like to pretend otherwise, romanticizing local charm and it’s fun to do so, but in reality there is no meaningful difference between New York, LA, Chicago, Austin, Miami etc…

The differences feel increasingly superficial. Miami with its neon pink and bad Latin art. New York with its identical minimalist cafes selling identical oat lattes. These aren’t cities anymore, they’re brands. “Keep Austin Weird” feels less like the rallying cry of a bohemian collective and more like a safe corporate brand slogan.

It wasn’t always like this. Cities used to incubate true subcultures that couldn’t thrive anywhere else. Seattle once had grunge music emerging organically from local clubs, distinct in sound and attitude. Detroit was a birthplace for techno and industrial grit that couldn’t have been manufactured. New Orleans had jazz clubs and vibrant local traditions that permeated every street corner authentically. Before the internet collapsed distances, you could sense deep authenticity upon arriving somewhere new. The vibe wasn’t something designed by marketing departments; it was organically woven into the streets, the people, the music, and local myths.

Now, vibes feel engineered and commoditized, reduced to Instagrammable moments and easily replicable aesthetics. I once watched from the balcony of my hotel in Nashville as 200 women waited in line to take the same stupid picture with the same stupid set of angel wings.

Digital spaces, ironically, have become refuges of uniqueness, fostering communities unburdened by geographical homogenization. Platforms like nostr host unique niche communities, from hyper-specific gaming bitcoin cultural milieu to obscure philosophical discussions, that retain genuinely distinctive vibes.

Perhaps we’re now entering a strange inversion, where real-world spaces chase digital popularity, adopting blandness to maximize broad appeal.

In this inversion, digital worlds might become the primary spaces where unique vibes survive, thrive, and multiply—leaving our physical world as little more than a flattened reflection of what used to be.

Nostr is where the vibes are at.

The real vibe is still in nature, away from cities, in the country. Cities are artificial, homogeneous corporate, fiat constructs. Every off ramp looks exactly the same. The population is mostly grey, flat, and programmed.

That, and dude, you're getting old. The lack of vibe you feel irl is due to your lack of tribe. It happens to a lot of us, but even more now that everything is a marketing gimmick.

1152 sats just triggered the feeder! Goats are one of the few animals that can see in both low-light and bright conditions, thanks to their horizontal pupils.

You should set up a lightningdogs

⚡Lightning Goats⚡ 10mo ago

I've thought of it. Since we do have ⚡ Lightning Dogs ⚡.

I've also thought of doing a spoof commercial video, narrated by nostr:nprofile1qyt8wue69uhh2mtzwfjkctnvda3kzmp6xsurgwqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgxy3c5lqj6g9nqpeg0ea7xgdmurrrq9nc8fx5er2930pq8jdc2vzyu7yza6 , for ⚡ Lighting Wife ⚡. (Send zaps and chocolates are dispensed.)

Track everyone's sleep habits by their GM and GN notes. 🤣

⚡Lightning Goats⚡ 10mo ago

How about flipping that around by using the Oura API with Nostr to automatically generate notes (events) whenever you wake up, fall asleep, or enter different sleep phases.

How it would work:

Oura API tracks your sleep activity, including when you fall asleep, wake up, and enter sleep phases (light, deep, REM).

A script or service periodically checks Oura API data.

Upon detecting a specific event (falling asleep, waking up, sleep phase transitions), it publishes a note/event to the Nostr protocol.

Key considerations:

1. Oura API

Oura provides REST endpoints for accessing sleep data.

Use GET /v2/usercollection/daily_sleep or the detailed sleep endpoint (/v2/usercollection/sleep) for more granular data.

2. Detecting Events

Regularly poll Oura's API to get updates.

Compare timestamps and sleep phase data with previously stored state to detect new events.

3. Publishing to Nostr

Use a Nostr client library like nostr-sdk, nostr-tools, or nostr-python to publish notes. I like a combination of python and Nak.

Generate a unique note each time a new sleep event occurs (e.g., “gm!,” "gn!", “dreaming! 02:37 AM”).

While you guys were feeding the goats, I made some progress on retrofitting our kiva fireplace with cast iron doors. Pictures of pizza to follow.

gm!

The ⚡Lightning Goats⚡ solar powered goat feeder will be online slightly later than usual today while we wait for a little more sunshine to begin charging the system.
