Suspicious System Diagnosis

Located this in my system diagnosis files. Could someone please shed some light as to what this may pertain to? Any and all responses are greatly appreciated

You’re repeatedly making similar posts, that is, a huge chunk of unformatted system log output with a general request for an explanation. Why are you doing this?

It’s unlikely that anyone will help you out here because a) your posts are formatted in a way that makes them very hard to read, b) you’re asking a very generic question which has no easy answer, and c) it’s not clear whether they’re on-topic for DevForums at all. Remember that DevForums is focused on code-level questions rather than the user-level behaviour of our systems.

If you have a code-level question, feel free to start a new thread with the details. For more advice on how to do that, see Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips.

@0day — I hope you are doing well and not discouraged and/or stifled by the lack of response on the one hand, or the chastising some of the most intelligent and well-versed members of this community do regarding asking open-ended questions (about obscure plugins and app extensions that from their titles alone seem like control mechanisms at best and secretly injected malware at worst).

There are times I have had similar responses here and in other forums for other platforms, and I have concerns regarding the demand to be narrowly specific about things that there is ostensibly no openly available information on —the kind one needs to evaluate these objects and drill down to the actual problems that they may or may not cause — with which people could make better judgments and have better understanding of the intent behind these types of coding. I wish I were smarter about all of this and better informed so that I could make more sound decisions about what answers to pursue and what is best left alone.

At least that’s what I’m assuming you are also trying to do. I don’t know how being earnest in such an attempt could be a malicious act towards the forum, but as I have said I don’t know much about much except for what I know about what I know. 😏
