For the extra paranoid, just mount as ext2 for no journal.

  In other words, per your previous comments about sex, you download a
lot of CSAM AKA child pornography, and you want to hide your tracks on
your hard drive (since you shun having a fucking SSD).

At first I didn't know what you were talking about, but then I remembered Larry Pietraskiewicz posted a sickening message that he and all children are sexually active - including intercourse - at ages as low as 12 (but they just hide these things from their parents).  Which is total fucking bullshit, of course.
No wonder he loves Wretched Stallman so much.
