2026-01-17 21:27:11 +0000 UTC View PostI usually post a progress report on Patreon on the 15th of every month. If I'm late, that means something is wrong. I'm three days late this time because I'm a little burnt out, and my mental health hasn't been great.
Long story short, my parent's dog died and I've been sad about it.
I'm continuing work on Futureporn, but I am going to take a few days to re-center myself.

This is a last ditch effort to save Futureporn. My debt has become too high and I'm having trouble making interest payments. Something has to change....

This past month has been rough-- a mix of progress, setbacks, and financial chaos. I've made big strides on future.porn, but I've also hit some snags. The biggest one being money.
I've been pouring a lot of cash and energy into improving the site while my income has been trending down. My debt is up, interest payments ar...

Today we have a progress report where I'll go into depth on what I've been working on. future.porn is a red...
2025-09-16 00:56:21 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys, lots of good news this month.
Futureporn.net (v1) has the VODs, but future.porn (v2) doesn't have the VODs. We're fixing this issue straightaway, bringing in all the VODs from the v1 site so the v2 site can be more useful.

I'm making good on my promises, starting with Lovense vibration sync. To make this work, I trained a YOLO11 machine learning model to scan individual video frames and detect when Lovense overlays appear. Using this information, a .funscript is created.
Futureporn 2.0 is here, and it’s better because it’s smaller, simpler, and focused.
future.porn gives patrons the ability to create vtubers and upload vods. Finally, this isn't just my project. This is our project.
By simply taking 2 weeks off! Refu...

Futureporn's software stack and I have been in an abusive relationship for years, and it's time to sever that relationship and replace it with a healthy one.

I'm burnt out. In the past several weeks, I've wanted to quit more than ever before. I've wanted to pull the plug and walk away, take advantage of the warming weather to ride my bicycle across the country.
But I can't do that, because I'm not satisfied. I haven't accomplished my goals. I haven't built the site of my dreams and if I qui...
2025-04-16 00:08:52 +0000 UTC View PostPreviously I was planning on removing IPFS entirely, but I've changed my mind after seeing the results of last month's poll. The overwhelming majority of visitors want IPFS and Torrents, not just one or the other! Going forward I will support both protocols.

2025-02-16 05:10:10 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys. January is a great time to reflect and make resolutions. After a lot of thinking, I realize I've spent the past 6 months trying to push an update that is impossible to produce. There were layers of complexity of hastily designed prototypes. There were fragments of bespoke, deprecated integrations. Making a change anywhere meant breaking functionality in five other systems and it led m...
2025-01-15 03:47:12 +0000 UTC View PostGuys I'm depressed. It's winter and many days are too wet and cold to ride my bicycle (my favorite activity). It's only going to get colder and there's going to be more ice and snow. Cabin fever. Some days all I can do is jog circles in my apartment to keep myself from going crazy. I never enjoy this part of the year but I am getting through it one day at a time. Having something to focus on an...

Big update in the works! Here's what I've been working on and what's coming down the pike.
The past several months have involved deleting a lot of unnecessary parts to reduce snags and pain points. I've made the difficult choice of switching from Strapi Content Management System to Postgrest, and this means I have to adapt the existing data to be compatible with the new Postgrest system. ...

A big focus of 2024 has been improving my skills and knowledge in distributed systems and microservices infrastructure. I'm to the point where I'm confident to start deploying what I've learned in production, but there is one remaining roadblock to be cleared before I can get t...
2024-10-15 21:45:37 +0000 UTC View PostI occasionally find myself in disbelief about things that have happened. Not too long ago, I was living an aimless life.

2024-06-15 17:10:34 +0000 UTC View PostI spend a lot of time thinking about how I can improve Futureporn. Money is an easy solution I often consider, but lately I've been focusing elsewhere. I heard something from an entrepreneur about three types of capital.
Financial capital
Skills capital
Relationship capital

2024-04-15 11:37:07 +0000 UTC View PostFutureporn is an unofficial, fan-made NSFW archive of Lewdtuber livestreams. Originally started as a ProjektMelody-only library, the mission has expanded to become the Galaxy's Best VTuber Hentai site.
This mission has been fraught with peril. I've been banned from at least 3 cloud hosting providers. I've struggled to scale infrastructure, I'm often unable to meet visitor expectations. 2024-03-15 10:31:52 +0000 UTC View Post
It's amazing just how much WORK goes into making a video site. This is not a complaint (I like this work) but I sometimes have to take a step back and appreciate websites like youtube that do incredible amounts of work behind the scenes.
A lot of work has been going into Futureporn's backend. This is the part of the website visitors never see, but it's smooth func...

2024-01-15 00:09:51 +0000 UTC View PostFutureporn started in December 2020. Originally it was a very simple webpage that could only serve one or two visitors at a time. I went on a journey to redesign and I've been iterating on the website ever since.
