In computing, a daemon is a program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. Customary convention is to name a daemon process with the letter d as a suffix to indicate that it's a daemon. For example, syslogd is a daemon that implements system logging facility, and sshd is a daemon that serves incoming SSH connections.
Introducing Faktory
Yesterday I explained how a good background job framework is critical to scaling business applications. Today, meet Faktory. I’ve spent the last six months building Faktory, a new background job system which aims to bring the best practices developed over the last five years in Sidekiq to every programming language. The Basics Faktory is a server daemon which provides a simple API to produce and consume background jobs. Here’s the chatter to create and execute a background job:
Servers with Personality · Caolan
By which, I mean: a server I can point to. Not just an anonymous virtual machine but a physical device that somebody cares for.
Self-hosting - AT Protocol
Self-hosting a Bluesky PDS means running your own Personal Data Server that is capable of federating with the wider ATProto network.
OpenZipkin · A distributed tracing system
Zipkin is a distributed tracing system. It helps gather timing data needed to troubleshoot latency problems in service architectures. Features include both the collection and lookup of this data.
hardware
Hardware refers to the material parts of computing equipment, in contrast to software.
Moving beyond fork() + exec()
Since the earliest days of Unix, two of the core process-oriented system calls have been fork() [...]
autosuspend 11.3.0 documentation
autosuspend is a daemon that periodically suspends a system on inactivity and wakes it up again automatically in case it is needed. For this purpose, autosuspend periodically iterates a number of user-configurable activity checks, which indicate whether an activity on the host is currently present that should prevent the host from suspending. In case one of the checks indicates such activity, no action is taken and periodic checking continues. Otherwise, in case no activity can be detected, this state needs to be present for a specified amount of time before the host is suspended by autosuspend. In addition to the activity checks, wake up checks are used to determine planned future activities of the system (for instance, a TV recording or a periodic backup). In case such activities are known before suspending, autosuspend triggers a command to wake up the system automatically before the soonest activity.

Who is Dusk for?
Dusk OS doesn't have users, but operators. What's the difference? Control. You use a phone, you use a coffee machine, hell you even use a car these days. But you operate a bulldozer, you operate a crane, you operate a plane.
vmware-archive/differential-datalog
DDlog is a programming language for incremental computation. It is well suited for writing programs that continuously update their output in response to input changes. A DDlog programmer does not write incremental algorithms; instead they specify the desired input-output mapping in a declarative manner.
