Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Please use $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR if it's set:
 https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-0.7.html
 "The directory MUST be owned by the user, and he MUST be the only one
 having read and write access to it. Its Unix access mode MUST be 0700."
 It tends to be something short like "/run/user/1000".
