What’s whoopsie ?
It’s the “Ubuntu Error Reporting” daemon, and is installed by default in both desktop/server installations.

Can send them to Ubuntu/Canonical (specifically to https://daisy.ubuntu.com 🙂
How do I disable it on a server or via the command-line?

Then bid farewell to whoopsie with sudo service whoopsie stop.
