Evan Genest's Learning Log

These are notes to myself. If you discover them and find them useful I would love to hear from you. Most of these are related to travel I did, books I read, or tech notes for Matomo and the LAMP stack.

Linux places

linux

The high level directories that are outside of /home are a source of fascination. Exploring them feels like Lewis & Clark journeying to the west (or 玄奘 in 西遊記).

Daemons

Both of these are lists of things that can be daemonized on the Ubuntu Linux. Daemonized things can run in the background. Another way to think about them is they are the things that are invoked with systemctl

$ ls /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/   # (61 items, no sudo needed to list)
$ sudo ls /lib/systemd/system/                      # (349 items, sudo ls to list)
