Bureaucrats and daemons

You know, bureaucrats are like daemons. If you don't know what daemons are, here's a short:

In UNIX-like systems, Linux includes, daemons are processes that run indefinitely. They can start when your system starts, and they "listen" to particular events elsewhere. Daemons are interesting creatures: they stay where they are supposed to be, they don't move away.

They watch, and perform actions when requested (much more effectively than bureaucrats, of course).

Odds are, in order to control the daemons, you must be ROOT. Or sudo, but this is another story. To mess with bureaucrats, one must control the environment where they are allocated.

GN, #nostr.
