    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.

    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.

    Why is the daemon smoking? Are they taking a break from their duties? Is this what happens when I run rc-service sshd stop?
