sd-bus is threads-aware, but not thread-safe. The idea is to allocate
a separate bus connection for each thread, and not share connections
between threads though.

if you want to receive asynchronous notifications via sd-bus, then you
need to invoke sd_bus_wait() + sd_bus_process() in a loop (possibly
interleaved with other calls), or use an event loop of some form, for
example sd-event.

If you invoke usleep() or similar long-blocking syscalls from a thread
that also is supposed to run your bus connection then of course the
processing of the bus connection cannot take place then.
