What Does This Mean？？？

I got something saying collecting debug info on my jailbroken PW4, and it generates .tgz files and .txt logs.
I'm unable to open the website shown above.

That's the side-effects of having to flag the device as a debug-friendly for JB purposes.

That's an internal lab126 URL.

@NiLuJe
Sorry for bumping a very old thread.

Do you know what process/binary/script is responsible for collecting this debug info? Can I disable it somehow?

I get cmd_, powerd_ core dump files (30 MB each) and bunch of reports every now and then. I think it is when I connect to Wi-Fi, or connect with sftp, or maybe even exit KOReader. I am worried about those writes of 30 MB over long term…

Update:

I found some hints in /usr/bin/dump-stack and created two files in /mnt/us/ :
DISABLE_CORE_DUMP and DISABLE_CORE_DUMP_ALERT

No more heavy dump files!

Only things that are created from time to time are Indexer_ files and some small html and tar.gz files.

This usually happens after Kindle UI freezes for a minute or so, after I enable Wi-Fi. I suspect that it freezes when trying to check for OTA, and I blocked OTA binaries (and otaup script). So maybe because of that

All this happened on FW 5.16.21

I’ll try to replace ota scripts with some dummy empty scripts later, so that command “will work” keeping Kindle UI happy.
