How to put directories like /tmp, /var/tmp, /var/log (especially logs!) in tmpfs to enchance privacy?
ALL logs, including system ones and journald… I can grant them 50 Mb space in RAM? Or use sledgehammer method with /dev/null?
I need to reduce anything that can be used to track how i used my laptop. I understand risk that this can make troubleshooting harder.
I have 16gb of RAM. And I use it pretty much.
So if putting logs to RAM is bad for performance maybe in /dev/null (won’t constant use of dev/null harm SSD?)? But I need not to break anything in system. And yes, I am okay with headache with troubleshooting. This is tradeoff for maximum privacy if unauthorized access.
How to do so? Can you please help for both versions (tmpfs and /dev/null)?
