Many years ago I read and shared the definition of teledildonics http://catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/teledildonics.html

From that day on any time someone built a new computer someone in my cohort would ask if the new machine came with a 5 1/4 in. F*ckdrive.

We live in the future.

While tempting, I should not click on any of these links from within the corporate network. Curiosity has to wait.

This is why I had to fork nipple.js years ago. A harmless joystick library with a “ha ha okay…” name. Oh and another: I had an uncomfortable talk with IT when I tried to navigate to the TypeScript playground by visiting “tsplayground” which… was definitely not typescript. Finally: I will type “pythong” maybe once a month into bash. I’m not sure what that says about me. Sorry this is off topic now. Naming is hard… som…

Don't forget about gnome's liboobs (https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/liboobs).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That's because it's completely irrelevant at this level, not everything needs security baked in.

But imagine its a intruder who gets you off, not your significant bother. Imagine the implications, if adam gets with eve.. thats almost original sin.

> significant bother

Fabulous.

the people on buttplug.io are very passionate with their hobby. i really aspire to be like them. the passion, not the hobby.

Aw shucks, thanks. :D

(And yeah the hobby def ain't for everyone, unless you like the social/messaging work taking up 5x the time the technical work does XD )

I'm not seeing anything related to security and 2FA. The last thing the world needs is Pear of Anguish ransomware.

The security should be baked into the relay aka. whatever you use to translate the data from a IP based protocol to serial data.

T-Code is designed to be simple to understand, implement and decode by micro controllers over a wired connection and those micro controllers often lack the processing power to do cryptographic security. This relies more on physical security.

To what degree do modern sex toys come with sensors in addition to actuators? With enough usage, you could employ ML to learn the "optimal" reaction of the toy to the current sensor state. Of course, additional (external) sensors would probably help but probably be too intrusive.

There also is Nogasm which uses a pressure sensor to detect pressure changes in an inflatable buttplug to detect an Orgasm.

Most small microcontrollers can do cryptographic security even in pure software - a c64 6502 can too.

It is Rust so must be safe.

T-Code itself is just a protocol and has no particular programming language.

Buttplug.io which is part of the same project is written in Rust, but that's another story.
