I would welcome advice on what browser to use, given that Mozilla Firefox now refuses to connect to my IPCop firewall box at 192.168.127.254:8022 making the administration of the firewall impossible. It claims that it cannot let me connect: "The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified." Tried others, Dillo will not do https, Arora complains that: "Received finished signal while progress is still: 10 Url: QUrl( "https://192.168.127.254:8022/; ) " Vivaldi complains that: "This site can’t provide a secure connection 192.168.1.254 sent an invalid response.

[DNG] firmware missing in live iso
Been toying with the jessie_1.0.0_amd64_minimal-live.iso. The box I am playing with uses a rather common Ralink RT2870 USB wifi dongle which works out without problem with a PCLinuxOS live iso on this same box, or with Rasvuan on my Raspberry-Pi. Here with the Devuan-live iso, I get no wireless network, with the indication "device not ready (firmware missing)". And of course, I cannot get the firmware without a network connection.

[DNG] Cron / Anacron
I notice that since I upgraded from Bebian Wheezy to Devuan Jessie my box runs periodic jobs through anacron instead of cron. This sometimes causes heavy jobs to run at inconvenient times. Given my box runs 24/7, is there a simple way to banish Anacron, and run Cron at fixed times, in the wee hours of the night for instance ? Cheers, Ron. -- Auntie Em: Hate you. Hate Kansas.

[DNG] Life under Devuan is impossible.
Since I updated my Debian Wheezy to Devuan Jessie I am unable to access USB drives to store data. - I cannot mount them as user under Pcmanfm or Thunar "Error opening directory '/media/Mageia-4.1-x86_64': Permission denied" - As root, I can read the content under Pcmanfm, but not write; Gparted will create a partition table, when trying to create a partition gives me first an error "Daemon is inhibited", then fails to create the new FAT32 ffile system. Is there a way to move from Devuan Jessie to Debian Jessie without catching the systemd pox ?
