So when I scan a server and 666 happens to be open. Nmap will now report “doom” under the “Service” header? Most people will get a chuckle, but I suspect laymen and even Christian zealots will throw a fit. Like when a normal person gets an error on their screen and it prints “process closed: child killed by parent”. It will probably raise an eyebrow at the very least, lol.
As a devout Christian who enjoys games like Diablo and Doom, I wanted to offer a different perspective. All of my Christian developer friends (small pool but still large, at around 15 people), including myself, have no issues with tech terms like daemons, master/slave, or killing processes (esp. child processes). Many of us understand the context and humor in technical jargon. In my experience, it's often non-technic…
Hristos a înviat! Multumesc, brother.

Why especially child processes?!

I think it’s easy to overestimate how thinly skinned most people really are because an exceptional complaint (that’s not easily dismissible) commands attention. (This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, insofar as it’s indicative of sympathy and sensitivity.)

My hunch is that because `child` is so common place and suggests no semantic reference to oppression.

#57Does 'officially' do anything?
Well, it does about as much as say, when Congress names an Aircraft Carrier, or ISO some day publishes C++ 23 (probably later this year). Concretely your Linux systems probably have a file named /etc/services which maps the string "doom" to port number 666, much as it maps "ssh" to 22 or "http" to 80.
None of mine do, but now I'm going to add this.
