### Bug description
nextcloud spams about 123 000 lines a second(!) into my log, which very quickly fills all available RAM as the logs are in tmpfs.
I do not understand why, especially since the files are in `~/.local` which Nextcloud shouldn't be touching in the first place:
It's these two lines ad infinitum with various files:
