This card can also be read via Gemini.

Alpine uses `crond` which is a cron daemon built in to BusyBox.

Jobs are scripts in /etc/periodical/ which has a number of variations; 15min, hourly, daily, monthly.

I still prefer to install and run fcron because it is more powerful. But maybe you don't need that.
