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?

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."

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.

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.

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

Running Mint and Windows apps in Wine is fairly weak advocacy. Give us

I run IRC and Usenet apps under Wine, so what?

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$.
You'll probably need to setup a dual-boot with Win11, or install Windows
in a VM on your Linux crapbox.
I have VirtualBox with 32-bit and 64-bit unactivated VMs of Win10,
haven't really done anything with them.
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.
I thought you had a friend who could use it. Please do. I have no
use for it.
Note: Gamers-Outlet has some good deals right now

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

Nothing wrong with it. I'm just not used to it. The only time the
computers at work or the ones at home reboot are when required after
updates or when the power is off for extended periods. The exception is laptops if I plan to be away from a power source longer than they can maintain in hibernate mode.
Now, with systemd and ssd, Linux boot in less than ten seconds. So it's
so fast I really don't care. But unlike him, I don't check anything
because I know my system is OK, so I just use it.

Never heard of jstar, but googling it it looks like a custom language?
Jstar is the WordStar variant of JOE (Joe's Own Editor). JOE comes in different "flavors." One of which is Jstar...
From the JOE man page...
JOE is a powerful console screen editor. It has a "mode-less" user
interface which is similar to many user-friendly PC editors. Users of
Micro-Pro´s WordStar or Borland´s "Turbo" languages will feel at home.
JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features
for editing programs and text.
JOE also emulates several other editors. JSTAR is a close imitation of
WordStar with many "JOE" extensions. JPICO is a close imitation of the
Pine mailing system´s PICO editor, but with many extensions and
improvements. JMACS is a GNU-EMACS imitation. RJOE is a restricted
version of JOE, which allows you to edit only the files specified on the
command line.
Although JOE is actually five different editors, it still requires only
one executable, but one with five different names. The name of the editor
with an "rc" appended gives the name of JOE´s initialization file, which
determines the personality of the editor.
JOE is free software; you can distribute it and/or modify it under the
terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
Foundation. JOE is available over the Internet from...
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor
I think it's also in most repositories.
