If your goal is lightweightness, use busybox syslogd, can't get more lightweight than a syslog designed for embedded and low memory systems.

You can grab my OpenRC service file if you want.

Haha, nice program, cool. Who doesn't want light weight? Even if i had a thread ripper with a ton of memory and powerful graphic card i would still aim for the fastest most efficient packages. It's a brilliant philosophy  8)

Well then you'll love busybox and suckless.

Besides, busybox ain't just a syslog, theres a lot more you can replace.
Code: [Select]
$ ll --color=no /usr/local/busybox/
total  
lrwxrwxrwx base32 -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx base64 -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx basename -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx cp -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx cut -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx date -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx df -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx diff -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx dirname -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx du -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx egrep -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx fbset -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx fgrep -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx grep -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx head -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx ln -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx ls -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx md5sum -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx mv -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx pgrep -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx pwd -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx seq -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx sha1sum -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx sha256sum -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx sha3sum -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx sha512sum -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx sum -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx syslogd -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx tac -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx cat -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx tail -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx tty -> ../../bin/busybox
lrwxrwxrwx uniq -> ../../bin/busybox
...

Put them first in your $PATH and enjoy (except make sure makepkg is run with the standard $PATH, you can do it with env PATH='/bin:/sbin' makepkg)

I don't think it's that much in the grand scheme of things, especially considering how web browsers write tons of stuff to ~/.cache

There's a setting in firefox you can change so ff will use only RAM memory. This is what shows ff in my about:cache. So in my case ff reads/writes exclusively in memory. That setting you can look for more info here  section DISK AVOIDANCE

"browser.cache.disk.enable"       turn it to false
