Buttplug: An open-source software suite for teledildonics
- th0ma5 6y agoWhen the Cult of the Dead Cow created Back Orifice, ostensibly a nicer Windows admin tool / Trojan horse, it had a plug-in system called Buttplugs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Orifice https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Orifice
- vorpalhex 6y agoThe io domain is actually for a British Indian Ocean Territory. I know a startup I worked at had issues being allowed to use an io tld previously, are there any concerns with the tld given the provacative nature of teledildonics? Edit: Correction of British Territory to British Indian Ocean Territory
- gnulinux 6y ago.io domain is for British Indian Ocean Territory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Indian_Ocean_Territory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Indian_Ocean_Territory
- cgb223 6y ago> The only inhabitants are US and British military personnel and associated contractors So wait, all .io domains map to a US/UK military base in the Indian Ocean? How does that affect privacy...?
- chrischen 6y agoGiven that they didn’t give a f*ck about the natives (they kicked off all the native population in the 60s and 70s), probably the same amount of care.
- geocrasher 6y agoIt doesn't "map" anywhere. It's just a domain name. DNS happens like it happens for any other domain.
- justusthane 6y agoIn day-to-day usage, it doesn't, at all. Who owns a domain doesn't have anything to do with where the traffic flows. If I owned buttplug.io (which I don't, unfortunately), and someone sent traffic to me (by visiting the website), DNS would look up and return the IP address of my server, and that's where the traffic would go. In theory, since the owner of the TLD controls the root DNS servers, I guess they could hijack the DNS to send the traffic to their server instead. We would know if that happened though.
- vorpalhex 6y agoActually tlds may have restrictions and can enforce them. This isn't very common, and most of the past issues with IO has been their very slow time processing registration requests as opposed to content takedowns, but some tlds require ssl and others do restrict adult content. Some restrict things to a given topic (which they get to be the judge of) and others require legal hoops to register such as proving you're a non-profit. With the explosion of tlds and those tlds being privately owned, there's a good chance we'll see more of these problems in the future though right now it just seems like the owning orgs are just looking for easy money.
- qdot76367 6y agoYup, it's a risk on multiple levels, that I of course found out about after building the project and marketing it. I've got some backup domains, but I'm gonna lose a lot of link juice if/when this goes.
- vmception 6y agoanother fun one is that .af is for Afghanistan and websites must comply with Islamic law, sometimes Shariah depending on who happens to say they are the government at the time. fortunately, most domain hacks for .af are colloquialisms that don't translate outside of native English easily
- seph-reed 6y agoIn 2013 I imagined this industry as being the next big thing. Mixed with VR, Deepfake, and Voice changing tech, literally anyone could be anyone fucking anyone. Thank you Buttplug, for getting us closer to that dream.
- herdodoodo 6y agoNo doubt the tech is cool, but this is actually somewhat disturbing to me. I see it as an expressway for the continued objectification of women, and an easy way for false nudes to begin spreading around. Even if they aren't real, they still violate the most intimate form of privacy. Maybe this is just me.
- adwn 6y ago> I see it as an expressway for the continued objectification of women Why? And do you also see it as an expressway for the objectification of men? Of not, why not?
- claudiawerner 6y agoIt probably is also an expressway for the objectification of men, but it seems to be used (currently) for women - arguably the objectification of women is much more widespread with modern porn and tech than it is for men. Look at the number of female sex robots on the market versus male sex bots (and no, dildos/fleshlights emulating a single body part such as a penis or vulva by any reasonable argument is not the same kind of objectification of a whole body sex toy), or the amount of porn focusing on the female body versus the male body, nudes of female celebrities leaked versus male celebrities, pornographic deepfakes of women versus deepfakes of men, etc. Objectification in media is common to both sexes. That does not mean to the same degree or in the same quality. (I'm making no comment as to the harm or benefit of objectification[0] here, and I don't buy the idea that programmable sex toys are a form of objectification). [0] There is interesting research, though: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-019-01024-0 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-019-01024-0 and https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ab.21719 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ab.21719

- starpilot 6y agoIn the backend, I'm sure it's necessary.
- downerending 6y agoHmm. Would a security breach count as assault?
- crankylinuxuser 6y ago/serious hat I don't believe there's been a case history yet of "hacking + sex crime", but many of us in the community believe that this is a strong possibility. It's one thing to target fintech, or some website, or a general SaaS offering. However when you're targeting sextech with the knowledge that a hack allows remote unintended stimulation (read: sexual assault), shows that they intended the hack and intended sexual assault.
- qdot76367 6y agoDepends on how you frame it, really. Julian Dibble's "A Rape In Cyberspace" is a oft-referenced piece here, written about LambdaMOO in the mid 90s, but still applicable to online environments today. (CW for reasons apparent in the title of the piece) http://www.juliandibbell.com/articles/a-rape-in-cyberspace/ http://www.juliandibbell.com/articles/a-rape-in-cyberspace/
- pmichaud 6y agoI get what you're saying in the abstract, but when I try to imagine it concretely, it stops making sense to me. Eg. a person is using a sex toy and tries to make it vibrate a certain way, but an attacker has caused it vibrate a different way. Sure, in some vague sense it's an unwanted type of stimulation and someone is involved in it that isn't supposed to be. But I think that scenario tortures the definition of sexual assault beyond recognition. Am I just not thinking of more obvious cases?

- qdot76367 6y agoYup! If it vibrates, we support it. The XBox controller (and other rumble gamepads) are probably the most widely owned vibrators, so hey, why not? I'm still trying to find a bluetooth electric toothbrush with a controls API. Most of them just have timers. :(
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoQdot did I ever show you, like 8 years ago after some Arse Elektronica, my thrusting brushless linear motor based sex machine? I designed and built brushless linear motors from scratch as well as the drive electronics. Anyway I never made it in to a business and lately think I will open source it all. I was going to ask for your email but I just discovered metafetish, so I can post something there. I'll do so in a few days. Anyway I haven't seen you in 8-10 years but it's good to see you around here!
- qdot76367 6y agoTAYLOR DUDE WHERE THE HELL YOU BEEN Yeah you brought it to Jupiter when we met there way back when!

- DonHopkins 6y agoYou should definitely start a gofuckme campaign.
- Yaa101 6y agoHi, I think you do a service to the world, I am a seller of toys, as shop owner, but was/am reluctant to sell teledildonics just because of security problems, I will keep a close look on your project to decide if and when I will start selling them and point my customers to your project. Any chance of using golang in the future?
- qdot76367 6y agoHopefully once the FFI bindings happen in Rust, yeah! We had someone produce a Go library right when the project started 3 years ago, but it's SUPER dated now and wasn't really supported much. https://github.com/funjack/golibbuttplug https://github.com/funjack/golibbuttplug
- Yaa101 6y agoI see... Problem for me would be that updating that library would mean an investment of all these different devices, and you know they ain't come cheap. Would it be an option to create a virtual device which could be populated with the hardware rules of each of these producers, to enable swift creation of bindings in all sorts of languages without quick aging of code?
- qdot76367 6y agoHi! Buttplug Project Lead here! AMA!
- andybak 6y agoUmmm. Where do I begin...
- dajohnson89 6y agoDo you see a lot of potential in this space? Any insight into the unit sales, usage stats, etc?
- qdot76367 6y agoIt's really difficult to say? There's lots of media articles right now about teledildonics being the future and super popular during COVID, but I'd say the real winner here is video conference still. Teledildonics has a LONG way to go in terms of UI/UX before it'll really catch on, and I would never go as far as claiming it's a replacement for physical intimacy, much as VR isn't a replacement for actually being somewhere. Rather, it's an augmentation of it, and a way to allow us to be or feel things that may not even be possible (for better or worse).
- dgrin91 6y agoThere have been numerous stories in the past of IoT sex toys basically being thrown together by people with no tech knowledge and leaving the passwords as defaults, etc. Makes hacking/stealing the data trivial and obviously problematic for the product and users. What does project do to ensure security?
- qdot76367 6y agoFor Buttplug specifically, it's just a hardware control library. While there are ways to use network-as-ipc for the system (mostly to establish control from browsers that don't support hardware access internally), it's not recommended as a basis for a service without some modifications. Buttplug is a core technology of my startup, alongside the user facing Intiface brand (https://intiface.com https://intiface.com). I'll be working on more network focused services there in the near future, where I'll be addressing more security focused questions. If you're curious about some of the beginning directions of that, I posted a full Teledildonics 101 workshop last month on my youtube channel, that goes over systems design thinking for remote intimacy, including some touchpoints on security. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZBOOe-bdwNAjm018ql9KDzu5SEV_XwX https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZBOOe-bdwNAjm018ql9...

- qdot76367 6y agoFor reliability, if you just want a vibrator of some form factor to work with, go with something by Lovense (except for the Max, which is kinda shit). Easy to get, just works most of the time, decent ecosystem. https://lovense.com https://lovense.com If you just want the absolute god damn cheapest but still computer controllable wand, the Youou Wand for $16 (I buy these in bulk to give out at workshops): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F6XWF2F/ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F6XWF2F/ For strokers, Kiiroo Launch (aka Fleshlight Launch but branding is changing currently). Not the best thing on earth, but it does the job right now and there's currently an open source firmware rewrite happening (because there's some masochist out there that loves reading PIC24 assembly. Yes it's fucking PIC24 based.) If you've got a 3d printer, the (currently mostly penile stimulation focused) OSR2+: https://patreon.com/tempestvr https://patreon.com/tempestvr. Something like $2-8 for plans, 3D printable in about 2 days on a stock printer, multi-axis movement, vibrate development community and a ton of add-ons happening.

- junga 6y agoMay I also suggest ButtFace?
- tristor 6y agoThis is actually an amazing project. I see they have an extensive list of devices already supported. People freely discuss on HN all the time about the security of private messaging between different people online and how corporations track and use this data against us as consumers, but it seems people are incapable of recognizing and discussing this maturely when in fact the same issues are present with teledildonics. There's a number of very popular remote control devices on the market, and the security and privacy of users is paramount, especially when proprietary apps integrate audio and video and these things could be used for all sorts of reputational damage against consensual users, exactly for the same societal reasons people aren't taking this seriously. Having free and open libraries and APIs for handling this stuff and free universal applications which take user security and privacy seriously is critical to the advancement of teledildonics in a way which is safe for the public and doesn't take advantage of consumers. In VC pitch lingo, Buttplug is "Signal for remote control vibrators".
- qdot76367 6y agoThanks! So right now, on the Buttplug side, we're more FreePIE or Osculator. The library is made mostly for local side communication with hardware, think of it like an HID manager for VERY SPECIFIC types of human interface devices. :) We'll be getting to online services though! I just did a big 4 part tutorial called "Teledildonics 101" on my youtube channel that covers some of this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZBOOe-bdwNAjm018ql9KDzu5SEV_XwX https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDZBOOe-bdwNAjm018ql9...
- tristor 6y agoI saw that there weren't mobile apps and a backing service as part of this yet, but I am rooting for you to get to that point. It'd be great to see a community-driven open-source response to Lovense and the other companies like that which dominate the industry currently.
- qdot76367 6y agoPlan for mobile apps is to build those on top of the Rust core, using methods similar to the FullStory posts here over the past couple of weeks. We had a Xamarin thing working at one point, but it was... Xamarin. We can also work through WebBluetooth on android devices (and there's a WebBLE iOS browser in the store), so that's a crappy-but-workable option. Standing up services is something I really want to get to, with the plan being to run a containerizable system with optional hosting similar to Discourse/Matomo/etc models, but first I gotta stop rewriting the damn core library. The problems of making your back yard shed hobby project a business, right?

- aasasd 6y agoWell, I'm now aspiring to the same level of dedication to avoiding eye contact.
- egypturnash 6y agoI started watching the video of hooking the Trance Vibrator up to Rez Infinite but I got distracted by the intense wave of, well, pretty much ASMR that ran up my spine once I saw level 1 on the screen along with its music and now I guess I am spending a while playing that instead. I shall not say what I am doing with my second controller or hint a ways I may be enhancing the reach of its vibrations. 100% analyzation, 99.6% shotdown, 100% support item, one hit taken during Earth [Tera] - not bad for the first time picking it up in years I guess, especially on a dim projector with some intense Sensations and Emotions going through my head as I was dancing with the first level's boss.
- qdot76367 6y agoIt's such a wonderful game, isn't it? I got my first copy back on the Dreamcast and PS2 and played the hell out of it. I wrote my first USB drivers for the Trancevibrator around 2005, also. When Infinite came out I still played it quite a bit (outside of the context of making that video heh), and it was like riding a bicycle. A couple of minutes of getting used to it again and I was back to near 100% on everything. :D
- egypturnash 6y agoseriously, I have it sitting on my PS4 at like 95-100% in everything after one playthrough when I first got it, except Area 5 because I really cannot be bothered to run it like 5x in a row to remember all its little tricks. I'll probably buy it again when I replace this PS4 and there's a re-remake. If you haven't played Polybius or Sayonara Wild Hearts, I can highly recommend them - they are both games that stroke their fingers gently across the same places that Rez tickles.
- qdot76367 6y agoOoooh hadn't heard of Polybius, been meaning to pick up Wild Hearts... Still wish any other Mizuguchi game did it for me as much as Rez. Never got to try Child of Eden, Every Extend was good, Lumines and Tetris Effect were ok but just not quite the same. I think Rez had that combination of perfect timing and place.

For the latter you could take your existing model and add an extension "gateway protocol" that would connect servers to servers, and through that protocol support advanced routing, which would in effect become a distributed decentralized peer to peer network. (obviously all that is a lot more work than you need for your use cases, but it seems like an interesting way to give people sexual agency without either a) commercial infrastructure or b) potentially unsafe public services)
