When I install a new distro I typically run 'sudo lsof -i' to see what is [Listening] and work to remove any potentially vulnerable network aware applications.

I'm struggling to learn how the init system works. A small guide on how to use the Devuan init for managing daemons would be nice for the following actions:

Do I need to know about runlevels for daemons?
How to Start a service:
How to stop a service:
How to disable a service:
How to enable a service:

What is the correct procedure to follow before 'sudo apt remove <package>' that also has a service module?

If you do wish to use HTTPS, you should instead directly use one of the mirrors that supports HTTPS. https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/mirror_list.txt lists all the mirrors, what protocols they support, and where they are located. So you can pick a nearby mirror.

I'm attempting to use https with apt and I've been experiencing fails.

I chose "https://mirrors.dotsrc.org" as the mirror I want to 'apt update' and 'apt install' with.
When I add the url to the /etc/apt/sources.list file it is confusing in how to get it to work.
Can you provide an example with my chosen mirror?

I have tried the following url structures with no success:

22 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur/InRelease
23 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur/main/binary-amd64/Packages
24 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages
25 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur-updates/InRelease
26 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur-updates/ main
27 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur-updates/ non-free
28 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur-security/InRelease

30 deb https://mirrors.dotsrc.org/devuan/dists/excalibur-security/ non-free
