Taming the journal's size
Systemd's system journal's size can go out of control. There are some things you can do to keep it in control:
journalctl --vacuum-size=512M
journalctl --vacuum-time=4weeks
Forwarding the journal to /dev/tty12
You really want this? It's basically a leak available with a shortcut.
This is very simple. Just create the file /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d/fw-tty12.conf and fill it like this:
[Journal]
ForwardToConsole=yes
TTYPath=/dev/tty12
MaxLevelConsole=info
Then, restart the service:
systemctl restart systemd-journald.service
