    Crontabs can live in different places on different systems, but generally when you run crontab -e you’re editing the crontab of the current user, which is generally placed in /var/spool/cron/{username}. If you do sudo crontab -e that edits the crontab/file for root. There can be other files nested in /etc/cron.d, /etc/cron.hourly, /etc/cron.daily et cetera as well.

    To find out where those old cronjobs are still defined, you can recursive grep the name of that unique log file you mentioned (if the log file is part of the command in the crontab). grep -r "{unique log file name}" /etc and /var/spool should find it. If the log file name isn’t in the command, grep for some other unique string from that cronjob that would stand out amidst everything else in /etc.

    To add timestamps to log output, you can pipe it through ts.



  • Running a constant arp poisoning attack on a whole network trying to mitm the dns server just to block ads is going to be unreliable as hell, and it’ll screw with more than just dns traffic.

    If you control the network, it’s far simpler and more reliable to point clients to a dns server that blocks ads. And if you don’t control the network, probably shouldn’t be attacking it this chaotically.













  • This is a week-old repo with a 163,000-line initial commit, and the test repo that init was dumped in from is filled with hundreds of claude/codex co-author commits. Regardless of whether it’s to hide the ai co-authoring, it’s shady to obscure a repo’s initial work like that.

    I could be wrong, of course, but this smells like yet another overambitious ai-slop project that’ll get abandoned in a month.






  • I run the immich container stack on a vm with 4GiB memory and 2 cores, with db on local disk and external libraries over smb, and it runs perfectly fine. I offload the machine learning jobs to another sometimes-on machine, sometimes, but don’t really need to unless I’m dumping thousands of new images into the external library at a time and want it all to process quickly.
