Okay, so I've been following this thread with some interest, because of late I 
can't use any decent weather pages online. (The only decent pages block me 
for using Tor.) I used to depend on https://forecast.weather.gov/ and before 
that, Weather Underground, but they have both turned to crap. 

When I try to use kweather-trinity, even after I load my preferred locations 
and update, etc., all I get is a big question mark. When I click to "show 
report", I am informed that the network is offline. But it is not true! I can 
send and receive emails, surf the web, download, upload, all that good stuff. 

If I were to guess, it might be that I've never got tdenetworkmanager to work 
properly. It worked so-so with Debian/Devuan Jessie, but about half the time 
I had to fall back on wicd. Since upgrading to Devuan Beowulf, 
tdenetworkmanager has never worked for me (it won't accept login credentials 
for my in-house wifi); so I've used wicd exclusively. But it works fine, and 
I can live without TDE in a few things, if I must. 

So do I have to dig into the guts of kweather to change something, or should I 
look elsewhere? 

Bill
