I'm a little confused and I think that comes from your confusion. Let's try to break it down and hopefully that'll help.
It looks like you installed weewx using apt-get. So that would follow the file location layout for the apt-get installation. Click here and go all the way to the bottom <http://weewx.com/docs/debian.htm>. (Hint: weewx.conf is in /etc/weewx not /home/weewx for apt installs). The latest version is (today) 3.8.2 but 3.9.0 is being beta tested as we speak. To verify which version you have, run sudo apt policy weewx and paste the results. Lastly, open /etc/weewx/weewx.conf, then find the [[Wunderground]] section. This is where you've defined the uploader information. As to why it's going every 30 minutes - I'm not sure. What is your archive_interval set to within weewx.conf? I think it may be tied together. Standard config for archive_interval is 300 You could also run: sudo wee_debug /etc/weewx/weewx.conf --info and paste that here. Be extra careful that it censored all your passwords within before pasting.
