I understand that etymologically, it makes perfect sense to pronounce daemon the same as demon because it's the same word. But I'll never stop pronouncing it day- instead of dee-, as if it's a Ferengi captain.

I pronounce it like the German word for demon, Dämon [ˈdeːmɔn] 🔊 because daemon is how Germans would write the word in lowercase ASCII.
I pronounce it da-eh-mon in my head, it sounds more old-timey than "dee-mon".
Takes a comment instead.
systemctl statussystemctl status …myservice.service…
So my systemd services are daemons, since they run in the background, right?
systemctl status x
Unit x.service could not be found
noo where is my x
systemctl restart artistd
I kind of want a cigarette
Ding ding
Why is the daemon smoking? Are they taking a break from their duties? Is this what happens when I run rc-service sshd stop?
Demon != Daemon
It took me way too long to learn this, please don't confuse me.
Liar. Daemon = Demon. There's lottle red demons in your PC doing stuff

If a daemon is an agent of ruin then ... Systemd must be ... Oh no !
Any background process, routine, or program contributes to the complexity of the overall system, which does indeed contribute to ruin as entropy gradually builds and collapse/death/crashing becomes inevitable.
Which is to say, I agree with these definitions.
