When did #versions start getting #named?

I think we should not only have complex and opaque numbering schemes, abstracted by weird names, we should also introduce flavors, colors, spin, and ectablanasnorbletwibs.

Clearly we should copy quantum physics, well-known for it's understandabiliy to the average person.

Opacity helps accessibility!!!

"A #defense #official confirmed that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during #Pride month -- was intentional." (Was to be announced June 13.) #Hegseth orders #ship #renamed, generally "taboo" in the Navy. The #JohnLewis "oiler" ships are all #named after #HumanRights #activists. #HarveyMilk's family had a US #Naval #history, he was a diver on a submarine rescue ship in the #KoreanWar. Hegseth claims he does this "to re-establish a warrior culture."

I started a discussion with fellow #sysadmin about updating #BIND / #named config to migrate from the overly permissive allow-update {…} stanzas to the more restricted update-policy {…} stanzas using targeted grant statements.

The idea being to allow the #acme client to only be able to update (add / delete) _acme-challenge TXT instead of any record in the zone.

Old:

allow-update {
TSIG_KEY_NAME;
};

New:

update-policy {
grant TSIG_KEY_NAME name _acme-challenge.example.net TXT;
};

ETA: Okay the below is fixed, but why would db.root not update when everything else does?

(it's on Debian)

okay this is weird

the root hints file I have diffs identically to the one I just pulled down from the internic as a sanity check (other than the last updated date which is also weird)

but I'm getting this regardless:

named[1252171]: checkhints: b.root-servers.net/A (170.247.170.2) missing from hints
named[1252171]: checkhints: b.root-servers.net/A (199.9.14.201) extra record in hints

(and similar for the IP6, elided for space)

why
