I had the same problem with some websites, and e-banking too, (Devuan 5 Daedalus, FF esr, all updated).
It used to work well, and more and more web sites started to not work correctly or at all, any-more.
Chromium did work.
So I decided to install the firefox .deb package directly from Mozilla's download page - and all worked well again.
I guess web designers include new things to their web-sites that require fresher web-browsers.
But anyway, Chromium from Devuan's Daedalus repo does work well.

Oh, just now I see golinux's answer. Cool.

Have you considered a standard Daedalus install (desktop-iso 5.01) and not choosing Expert, but standard install? You still can choose what DE and which software-packages to install.
Might be an easier approach to get your Lenovo running Devuan Daedalus. And don't forget to read the docs before posting.
Hope it helps.

Wow, good information.  Thank you.
This seems to be for Brother-MFC devices connected using USB cables - right?

Just in case the printer is connected to the local network (LAN):

In Devuan 4 (Chimaera):
Printing: nothing to do. (CUPS and related network-protocols work right away.
Scanning an initial config step was required:

Tested, 01-AUG-2023.

Now, with Devuan 5 (Daedalus)
Nothing at all had to be done, no configuration, no adding software.
Printing: everything works strait away. Provided CUPS with all networking is installed
Scanning: everything works strait away. Not even a initial config-step was required.

I prefer to give the MFC device a dedicated IP address, but with Daedalus I saw it worked with a dynamic IP address as well.

These portable application formats are a security concern indeed.
So the security-aware and -conscious would stay away from them, certainly on the main system, and only allow software from the original stable Devuan-repos (not the testing or experimental repos!!) to be applied to your system.
If you want to test such external sources, then it's best done in VMs, they are quite well isolated from the host system.
Fooling around with resources made available to VMs can hamper the security of your host system.
I always trust to Devuan sources and some well trusted external, Linux-friendly applications.
I'm not a security expert, but looong Unix and Linux experience made me quite confident to know some very good rules.

@greenant:
This happened to me all time, with every version of Devuan, but only when my laptop was/is connected by wifi (wlan).
I always use OpenRC and Cinnamon, and now I'm on Daedalus.
It happens when you mount your NFS resources over a wifi link. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE CONNECTED BY LAN (Ethernet).
So typically you will encounter the problem with laptops.

My solution is simple: On a laptop, I unmount all NFS resources before shutdown.
BTW: I'm very fond of Daedalus, or Devuan in general.

In daedalus the dependency resolves to:

liblzma5 -->
5.4.1-0.2
http://deb.devuan.org/merged daedalus/main amd64

So no danger, stick to daedalus and no fancy experimental repos. (Only if you are a developer)

This is all very well and right, but--- there is a caveat:
I did intense bandwidth-testing in a InfiniBand environment for HPC:
We did the testing with ssh/scp and the like and were surprised be the "bad" results. We then realized that the encryption/decryption took too much processing power from the CPUs slowing down the transmission rate. Repeating the tests with rcp (old Unix r-tools) showed correct results.
But InfiniBand speeds cannot be compared to normal Internet transmission rates, so the encryption/decryption process might not influence your results much.
Tests were done in 2009-2010 in a supercomputing lab using CentOS and InfiniBand 4Gbps and 10Gbps networks.
Just my 2 cents to it....

Oh, I see, @fsmithread,
you were 1 minute and 1 sec quicker than I was.
Thanks.

@golinux
Thank you, codeberg worked right away.

@Altoid
To come back to system backup / restore / cloning, I have posted information about some efficient methods here:

Oh, BTW: if you find issues in this textual information, please let me know! Thanks!

I hope it works and helps!
Have a good weekend!

Thanks. Will try it.

when you install hplip and hplip-gui, you will be a happy person.
Devuan (Daedalus) should be quite up-to-date with respect to the CUPS version.
The hplip package delivers you all .ppd files required for your printer
The hplip-gui package adds some comfort for tasks like check ink-levels, settings, scan, print etc.
In very rare cases you need to install a specific .ppd file, which should be available at HPs web-site.
This has worked well the last ~15+ years. Now I switched to Brother printers. No drives and installation needed. What a bliss.
BTW, with HP networked printers that should work as well. Now even some Canon networked printers can be used with Linux - without installing extra software.
