I use those without the "-d *" part. What does that do, please?

Sorry, my statement was speculative. I inferred something, and perhaps
shouln't have, from turning off the daemon options mentioned earlier.
On a cleaned system, it suddenly saved 8 GiB. That seemed excessive for
derivations (which are text) although perhaps not for outputs.
Kind regards
Felix
