Re: VMs: Demons, Daimones, Daemones...
There are also ALWAYS TWO (2) sides (see the mirror:-)
(ex: biblical:/: Ecclesiastes 8:14)
"There exists a vanity that is carried out on the earth, that there
exist righteous ones to whom it is happening as if for the work of the
wicked ones, and there exist wicked ones to whom it is happening as if
the for the work of the righteous ones. I said that this too is
vanity."
I think that was written by "King Solomon" ~1000 b.c.?

Solomon's (lesser & greater KEYS) should be yielded.

This view underlies the use of the term daemon for a program operating a
service on a Unix or Linux system. And, since betrayals by poorly
implemented or designed daemons or normal access via ill-chosen selections
of daemonic services are a major source of security problems for Unix
systems, elements of the Christian conception apply as well. Plus ca
change, plus ca meme chose.
