I see they are testing this on a Mac. I am curious what the test results look like if the users home directory or even the dot directories are tmpfs. On Linux .bash_login can repopulate dot directories from a archive directory <i>think skeleton files</i> and the dot directories can be ephemeral <i>mounted as tmpfs</i>. The person can have a command to commit their ephemeral directories back to the archive if they want to <i>"keep their changes"</i> so to speak. Or automate it on .bash_logout.<p><pre><code> du --max-depth 0 -h -c .cache .config .local

It's a bit of space on this CachyOS laptop but it's doable.
Saw "OPFS" and immediately misread it as OSPF (open-shortest-path-first)
a bit off topic but on the topic of fingerprinting here, anyone knows how reddit fingerprinting works at a rough level?
