Currently sindresorhus/conf is used to store the Trakt token, which by default creates a config file in the system default user config directory ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME or otherwise ~/.config).

Storing authentication credentials/tokens in a config directory like this is bad practice as outlined in mislav/hub#1912.

A better location would be using the system default user data directory ($XDG_DATA_HOME or otherwise ~/.local/share).

This will allow accurate tracking of how long it took to execute in the log files

The program should run outputting minimal logging information by default. Should include:

1. Log message indicating the beginning of the execution of the program
2. If program ran successfully, the changes made (if any), or an indication that no changes were made

The command sent to cron can be simplified if a simple shell start script (named something like start.sh) is provided

Saving the output of getFilms() and then comparing the saved/cached version with each new call saves having to query the Tumblr API to see if an update is needed.

Currently only works when run in project directory due to dotenv looking in the wrong places otherwise.

Include information about neccessary environment vars, how to set up cron job, etc.
