So, the aggressive crawler that pretends to be b4 in the user-agent is back hitting lore full force, this time hitting EU instead of APAC.

Thankfully, knowing a thing or two about b4, I can easily tell fake b4 traffic from real b4 traffic. Enjoy a ton of 404's, jerk.
Sooo, how hard do you think it is to relocate to, say, New Zealand ๐Ÿ˜… ?
"AI" today is similar to vitamins: everyone says they're good for you, but actual effectiveness is limited to relatively few cases, and there's a lot of quackery.

Turns out we were mislead by the packages available for the PC-98 Linux distribution Plamo. There was no need to install extra X servers, the default XFree86 shipped supports our video card out of the box - if used with "NoAccel" option.

Now, an interesting detail: a pop-up window tells us that we're running X as root which is considered a bad idea. The dialogue window offers two options:

* "Add a new user right now",
* "I'm aware, and it's none of your business"

Naturally, clicking "None of your business" makes this window disappear for good, you won't ever see it again. Modern programs should learn from this example.
