ok i posted this as a joke but this has genuinely been so useful to my sleep. the first line is better as `*/1 0-5 * * * ifdown lan` which shuts off the lan every minute, even if you restart the router. that way it's a pain to undo it -- gotta restart, log in, and make the change within 60 seconds.
