Yes but think of it as a company with mostly infinite resources to infinity shitify

Bluewashed was a IBM term. Since IBMs main color is blue it went with everything. Bluetape, bluewash, blueshit, etc. Bluewashing to them was taking a program/app and doing a series of things to fuck it up.

1. Strip out any code that might get them sued.
2. Strip out any “bad” or “funny” comments in the code.
3. If easily possible replace things like Apache for IBM HTTP server. Wildfly/Tomcat for IBM Websphere.
4. Product must have an installer even if you have a product that the customer doesn’t install. There’s probably more that I blocked out but thats the tl;dr of it.

Oh speaking of Blueshit. If you wanted to order something like say a laptop dock for your new laptop. Try to order it through their “buy on demand” system.

Me: Ok its for my laptop so I can get work done.

Them: (Some asshat in Denmark) Denied, workstations are not allowed docking stations, mice, additional monitors etc.

Me: “hold my beer” Resubmit request: Lab equipment for the REDACTED lab, to support multiple monitors in the test environment.

Them: (Someone in France) Approved! You should see your equipment in 2-3 weeks.

Me: WTF??

LMAO you bastard!

One that inserts a comment randomly about jumper cables or the lochness monster

This right here. When the company I worked for got bought by them our code got “blue washed” by a team of…lawyer/dev hybrids for lack of a better term. They ripped the shit out of our code. It took us years to unshitify it.

I’m using a self hosted installation using docker thats not open to the internet. Its only open to my internal network. I would strongly suggest not making it public. Especially if you have datacaps on your ISP.

However being paranoid about being IP banned by Google I took it a step further. I’m using Gluetun https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun to host a docker container that runs proton vpn and allows other docker containers to connect to it and use the vpn connection. Also has the benefit of being a http proxy.

Final fantasy 14 The main story quests were amazing. Especially loved the shadowbringers storyline.
