That's actually quite interesting. Storing the file in RAM. Now how to
create a ramdisk is debian. There doesn't seem to be /dev/ram. I did a
quick google search and found few tidbits stating that RAMDISK needs
to be enabled in kernel?

Just mount a tmpfs. Works fine until you swap unless your swap is
encrypted.

Here's my /tmp from fstab:

tmpfs /tmp tmpfs size=2G 0 0

That's it.

My swap is encrypted.
