I’m not sure when it showed up but I was backing up my config directory and I noticed I now have “core” file in my config directory that is 240mb.
I know it wasn’t there before I updated to v104.2 because it doesn’t exist in my backed up version of 103.6. Not to mention I would’ve noticed my backups taking way longer than normal.
I am wondering if I accidentally put a weird file in there for some odd reason. But I’m not in the habit of putting extraneous files in my config directory so that’s where the deeper mystery lies - if it’s not supposed to be there then how did it get there? I’m pretty positive I didn’t put it there.
I opened it up and it has a bunch of “code” in it but also some human readable text but it’s nothing I recognize.
here is the first snippet of human readable text:

int(x, base=10) -> integer
Convert a number or string to an integer, or return 0 if no arguments
are given. If x is a number, return x.__int__(). For floating point
numbers, this truncates towards zero.
If x is not a number or if base is given, then x must be a string,
bytes, or bytearray instance representing an integer literal in the
given base. The literal can be preceded by '+' or '-' and be surrounded
by whitespace. The base defaults to 10. Valid bases are 0 and 2-36.
Base 0 means to interpret the base from the string as an integer literal.
>>> int('0b100', base=0)

Could it have been accidentally put in when the docker image was made (I’m on non-hassio HA in docker)?
