Many projects ask to share lots of logs when reporting issues. It’s difficult to go through all the logs and redact informarion such as usernames, environment variabled etc.

Any ideas on how to anonymize logs before sharing? Change your username to something generic?

    This can also be mitigated by using a username and/or hostname that doesn’t leak private data.

    No need to make your username your real name, or make your hostname contain anything more revealing than say “living room thinkpad”
