Stop making swap partitions–use swap files instead (gist.github.com)

Thank you for your opinion, Bill.

Just kidding, I agree with the sentiment. It's 2026 not 1976. You don't need separate physical partitions for most use cases.

Anything that does

  create file
  chmod 0600 file

should be

  umask 077
  create file

Probably not a great idea if you're using btrfs [0].

just buy more RAM, it's cheap enough...
