This group seems to be infested with blowhards who don't
know shit.

Well, let's prove it.

I have a question, problem, issue, or what-the-fuck-ever.

On my standalone, desktop workstation I use PDNSD as a
caching nameserver. (If your distro doesn't have it then
your distro is FUBAR.)

My PNSD config file contains the addresses of all the
Internet root DNS servers. There ain't no way in fucking
hell that I will use my ISP DNS server.

Each time I boot, which, because I use a standalone desktop
workstation, is daily, I will check the Internic fundamental
"named.root" file for any changes to the root addresses:

ftp://ftp.internic.net/domain/named.root

Usually, there are none. But lately my check has registered
changes to the date of file service only.

Why does ICANN report a change to the fundamental "named.root"
when only the service date has changed?

Huh? Why?

C'mon you advocate phonies. Answer the fucking question or
else get the fuck out and join the Facebook Girl Scout page.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Fucking deadbeat phonies!

Here is the diff file of the last 2 "named.root" files:

; This file holds the information on root name servers ; This file holds the information on root name servers
; initialize cache of Internet domain name servers ; initialize cache of Internet domain name servers

You expect that retard to have a coherent status for his box? He's a

The pan newsreader has spell-checking -- but it isn't
active in the Subject: line. It then behooves the
operator of the software to be especially careful
when typing there.

Tharley Thud is not especially careful.

Don't blame Linux when people don't use its features. And it's not unique to
Linux, I've seen plenty of spelling mistakes from Mac and Windows users as
well. But I'm not really into grammar sniping.

You are such a fucking fool. The page where you copied all of this nonsense:

<https://alt.os.linux.narkive.com/eviIUtfq/why-does-named-root-change-with-no-changes>

answers the question:

"The named.root file is effectively a very small ancillary piece of DNS.
As such, it's trivial to update it if / when other parts of the DNS root
change.

Think about it this way. You tell make to rebuild files (like
named.root) any time other source files (like the root zone) is updated.
It doesn't matter if the contents that go in the target file
(named.root) change or not. The process causes a new target file to be
created.

So when the root zone file is updated (new TLD, or existing TLD
nameserver changes, or DNSSEC data changes) the associated named.root
file will /also/ be updated. It's a cascading effect, even if the
contents of the named.root file doesn't substantially change."

When are you going to grow up?

Good bust!

Feeb asks about updates to the Root Hints file on alt.os.linux, then 3
years later comes to cola to label everyone a "blowhard phony" that
might not know what he also didn't know.

He's the blowhard phony, as usual.

Of course Linux has spell checking. Aspell, for one thing.

But the app has to enable it... you know, like you can do (or disable) in
Microsoft Turd.

Here's for the vim editor I use for posting in the mews [sic] group:

https://vimtricks.com/p/vim-spell-check/

:set spell – Turn on spell checking
:set nospell – Turn off spell checking
]s – Jump to the next misspelled word
[s – Jump to the previous misspelled word
z= – Bring up the suggested replacements
zg – Good word: Add the word under the cursor to the dictionary
zw – Woops! Undo and remove the word from the dictionary

Easy peasy. All my mispellings are highlighted now.

Hmmm, it's a PITA in C++ source code. At least it only flags misspellings in
comments.

Yep. I thought the name "F Russell" on that page sounded familiar, but I was
waiting for someone else to make that connection.

Which just proves that age really has nothing to do with growing up. And I
never expect much from this dipshit.

Oh, I didn't know about that! Thanks!

He uses Gentoo and his own boot script to try and get the most minimal
system possible... nothing wrong with that... but then he runs Python
code and GUI apps because they're easy and save time (but that's not OK
for anyone else).

On cola he's a lying, bragging, hypocritical, misogynist, asshole creep
through and through. This thread is a perfect example of the kind of
weenie he is.

In real life he's a polite, obsequious milquetoast that goes along to
get along, like most everyone.

I also think he's mentally ill. The delusional things he says can't be
dismissed as trolling.

Running Mint and Windows apps in Wine is fairly weak advocacy. Give us
some Linux vs Windows stories to chew on.

You'll probably need to setup a dual-boot with Win11, or install Windows
in a VM on your Linux crapbox. You generously gave me a Win10/11 Pro
key, which I appreciate, but I didn't use it and if you want it "back"
feel free to use it.

Note: Gamers-Outlet has some good deals right now
https://www.gamers-outlet.net/en/software

I just bought a Win11 Pro key for $7, and a VMWare Workstation 17 Pro
key for $6.

I run IRC and Usenet apps under Wine, so what? Do you think that's
all I'm doing with my computer in 2024? I could do that with WinXP,
FFS. You harp on the use of Wine as if it's wrong to use. I think
it's a great way to enjoy the benefits of mIRC and Forte Agent without
running M$.

I have VirtualBox with 32-bit and 64-bit unactivated VMs of Win10,
haven't really done anything with them.

I thought you had a friend who could use it. Please do. I have no
use for it.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

We have proved it!

No one was able to correctly answer the question. All that
they could do was, predictably, completely avoid the issue
by offering excuses as to why one should or should not engage
in this behavior.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

They are too fucking stupid to realize their own stupidity!

What's the matter, distro lackeys? Can't you even implement
your own network connection? You have to have momma hold
your hand while you cross the fucking street?

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

This problem is an EXCELLENT question that truly separates
the MEN from the BOYS.

My only response to these phonies is to "get out" and
"stay out."

wtf? You didn't see where Tyrone busted your seedy ass? He found where
you posted that identical question to alt.os.linux 3.5 years ago, when
you were ignorant about why nothing changed but the file date.

https://groups.google.com/g/alt.os.linux/c/aW38FNPQwd8/m/UUVliTuvAAAJ

Now you're regurgitating it here as if you're some root hint file expert.

You suck.

Do you even realize how fucking retarded you are, dude? Seriously,
you're gonna have a shit life down the line. Just warped. Your brain
is like your broken-ass Gentoo box with a hard disk. Just goofy,
stupid.

Of COURSE he saw it. But he is going to ignore it and declare victory. Which
is what kiddie trolls do.

In Jstar I just run a spell check before posting. Unless I'm feeling lazy.
Jstar also uses aspell.

Never heard of jstar, but googling it it looks like a custom language?
