Strange characters when using ls

Screenshot from 2021-07-28 18-45-00

I noticed recently that in all directories where I use the ls command, these strange characters appear.
Any idea what this is? Feels like something getting corrupted.

What operating system are you using on the device you use to connect? Which shell?

Here it works:

The client from which I’m connecting doesn’t matter. In a terminal in Ubuntu and on Fedora shows the same problem. So it seems something filesystem related on the Turris.

Tried to delete the file? It is strange that it appears in all folders. Maybe some program wrote that file at the beginning of each folder. The file name is the same in each folder and always has a size of 0. They are all with the last modification prior to the release of 5.2.4.

Thank! Manage to delete it. I think something funky happened when playing around with Rumble. But glad it’s nothing serious.
