To complete the memetic conjunction, HN will surely be abuzz at the fact that the underlying buttplug library is, in fact, written in Rust. For when memory safety really matters: https://github.com/buttplugio/buttplug

View on HN

The underlying library being written in Rust is something of a relief (if you'll pardon the expression) as I am nervous about anything to do with my butt being written in something called C Sharp.

not to mention Go, Dart, or Squeak. Python... debatable.

Perhaps Tsoding can live stream porting the Buttplug library to Coq?

Surprised nobody has mentioned But_Fu_k.

Not entirely sure having rust in your butt is a better option....

Well at least the colour will match.

And it complements a low iron diet

Hopefully the author of the C sharp port did actually do some manual testing.

tho a lot of people willingly put java in their butt on purpose

For those who don't know - coffee enemas are, sadly, a thing.

That logo is on point.

Though Analitik would seem more fitting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Аналитик

What it really needs is to be ported to a new, bespoke dialect of brainfuck... but what to name it...

I get the joke but it's worth pointing out C# is actually memory safe and more flexible than Rust in that regard (with the downside of less control on GC).

I can't tell if you're being straight, or writing fiendishly clever satire with a triple entendre thrown in.

For those who are into that kinda stuff there's F Sharp, of course.

Aw shucks, thanks. :D

(I'm the Buttplug project lead, though anyone who's seen the threads on it before is probably aware since I tend the reply to every. single. comment.)

A question about delivery channel;I don't like receiving chess moves in my butt. If I wanted to get my chess moves in my penis would buttplug's device support include a viable alternative?

Also, I might be interested in parallel chess cheating. If DP is on the table would multi-match support be viable through the API?! I might have to break my no-pegging rule.. But in the name of increased chess move bandwidth it might be on the table.

Under the table.

How would you tell different matches apart? An intro ring tone, so to speak?

I mean, using DTMF for toy control is a thing that has happened:

Yup! The library is named Buttplug just because I like making large media publications say "Buttplug". I even made a whole video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6bghuCy6d8

Buttplug.io actually works with 100s of different toys. There's a full list at iostindex:

In terms of multi-match API support, we're... getting there. One of the dreams after the next big feature (MOBILE APPS! Thank god for flutter and flutter-rust-bridge) is getting WebRTC connections going, which should make situations like this easier to support.

Making media publications say buttplug is small potatoes. Apple made everyone say “Siri” (尻).

To complete metamemetic conjunction, it's old news here:

This must be high up there among peak HN moments.

Just the thought of living through this historic event gives me a little tingle inside.

It's up there indeed.

Wow there's even an Awesome compendium of all things buttplug.

https://github.com/buttplugio/awesome-buttplug

Which I should really go add Buttfish too like, right now >.>

I'd hate to have to unwrap anything in this context.

For when a stack overflow really is not acceptable.

I hope the library has a flanged base.

Ah, the ol' rusty buttplug.

wait, ew.

… where is n-gate when you most need it …
