Enhancing Privacy on Linux: Mounting Logs and Temporary Directories in RAM
To enhance user privacy and reduce the risk of activity tracking on Linux systems, you can mount temporary directories such as /tmp, /var/tmp, and /var/log in RAM using tmpfs. This ensures these directories are cleared at every reboot, leaving no logs or temp files behind. The tmpfs filesystem is a RAM-based filesystem that stores all data in volatile memory rather than on a persistent storage device, making it ideal for privacy-focused configurations.
