Ok, I haven't run one of these in a while, and I'm quietly hemorrhaging patrons lately (while still getting some new ones, so hi new ones!), so:

Is there something y'all want more of?

Tests!

This has been another week of finding out exactly how broken Buttplug is. Lots of firefighting as bugs show up in different parts of the system, though most are in the core buttplug-rs library. The good news is that a lot of these bugs are being found by new devs, who are pretty good about reporting them and helping to test after patches, so the project is still seeing growth.

Threw together a quick video to compare the Lovense Edge 1/2, talking about the differences in the new product. All in all, it's a pretty decent upgrade!

(Weekly update tomorrow)

Buttplug v2!

After discovering some nice structures in tokio v1 that would allow me to massively clean up some of the nastier parts of Buttplug, I spent the last week doing just that.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck.

Well, it took me 3.5 years to get to v1, and now ~3 weeks to get to Buttplug v2. >.<

Now that Buttplug is post v1, I'm trying to be a little more public in the "what I did" stuff, so the Monday newsletter here can hopefully focus more on "here's what I plan to do" with the ability for you to give me feedback. This is the first blog post I've made with updates from the past 2 weeks, including a lots of library updates and a new GHR version.

LAUNCHING V1. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I LAUNCHED V1.

DAMNIT V1 WILL HAPPEN. SOON.

So close. So damn close.

In my continuing goal of trying to maintain less zombie brands, I'm finally shutting down the Metafetish brand to focus on Buttplug/Intiface.

For metafetish.com, this doesn't mean much. Blog hasn't been updated in years, and I'm getting a new blog for Nonpolynomial that I'll be doing long form posts too. I also just have no interest to be a general sex toy blogger anymore. I've kinda got a different perspective than when I started Slashdong/Metafetish, and my needs have changed with that. The blog itself will stay up on the domain in perpetuity (don't wanna link rot it), though with the static engine it used, it's also up and indexed on internet archive until whenever.

Redoing shit. :(

Most of the past 2 weeks has been spent working on the Buttplug Developer Guide. I've got the first 3 chapters (good enough for v1 release), with Rust and C# examples in. Pretty happy with that overall!
