Hmmm. So far I have managed to avoid using anything non-free, and would like 
to keep it that way. I have no problems getting online, despite occasional 
warnings about missing firmware. 

Do you believe that this missing firmware is the cause of these weird 
glitches? I mean, I have *never* used non-free firmware in any Devuan 
installation. Only my very first Debian installation, back in the days of 
Jessie, used non-free, and only because I wasn't yet familiar with a Debian 
system, and wanted to try to get past the lower hurdles. 

This is not the case now. I can generally keep my machine running and stable 
without using non-free firmware. But of course, these weird glitches that 
have started creeping in, in the past few months, could be a sign of things 
to come.
