[kwlug-disc] systemd timer VS crontab

[CrankyOldBugger]

It could be because I'm a slow learner, but I haven't really had as much
luck with systemd timers as I have with cron jobs.  Cron just seems so much
easier.

Maybe I should look for an ncurses type of thing that does up systemd
timers for me, until I smarten up enough to do them myself.
