Day mon

Day Man

The 'ae' in daemon is the same as the æ in encyclopædia.

Same way that I say Matt Damon.

Matt Daemon

It’s just an old spelling of demon. So that.

Same as demon. Because my research indicates that this usage was originally a reference to Maxwell's demon.

Samy way as the actor, Matt.

D ayyyyy mon

Demon, because it offends purists, and FreeBSD's mascot is a demon.

Day-mon, every Linux admin I've worked with, old and young, pronounces it that way too, so that's where I picked it up.

I've never heard of people deliberately pronouncing it like that to avoid offending Christians though, seems like an American take lol.

I thought that it was just an archaic spelling of the modern demon and an alternative pronunciation to clairify that the speaker is referring to a technical part of an OS, not making a joke about the spiritual nature of the machine lol.

It sounds cooler to say day-mon anyways IMO.

ˈdiː.mən

And don't ever ask random people how to pronounce 'router'.

both honestly. I think when I see it I think damon mostly but I might say that and I might say demon.

You people use meat flapping to communicate?

In case you ever wondered where it came from in computing.

"Demon"

It was always "demon" (spelled daemon or dæmon), as in a spiritual attendant. Christian mythology has poisoned the word, and anyone who says "daymon" to not offend them is a coward.

See here:

Edit: When I say it was always pronounced "demon", I mean the nerds who started calling a small background program daemon pronounced it "demon".

I would pronounce it "DEEmon" but that gets some religious folks all freaked out, so I usually go with "DAYman".

Demon, so I can kill them, spawn them, or send them signals to die!

대몬

day mn

One of my favorite cyberpunk novels.

day-min

@guynamedzero@piefed.zeromedia.vip @linux@programming.dev"Why thou summoneth me?" LolJust kidding!I'm Brazilian, so I pronounce Daemon in such a Brazilian (specifically the southeast, "paulista"/from state of São Paulo variation) accent: Daah-eh-monnOr, if my IPA literacy is correct:/dajˈmõ/The Daemon I use in my pseudonym is inspired both by the Unix daemons (because I'm a DevOps and also a Linux daily user), as well by the esoteric daemons (as in the original Greek definition of daimon, spirits, due to my belief system).

Damon

"DAH-ay-mon," I choose you! Use your exec ~/thunder_sma.sh!

Dämon

Day Mon

I'm wrong but in my head it's always been Damien

Da-ymon

(The “y” is pronounced as in “you” and the “da” as in “darth vader”)

Just realised that I pronounce it like “diamond” without the last “d”
