  Nope. The performance of the 5070 isn't much better than the 4070 for games, only a bit of speedup if you're doing AI. The 40 generation was so much better than the 30 generation that it's worth the upgrade. The 50 generation is just NVidia raiding the wallets of those who want the latest thing because it's newer.

  But yeah, could mount an image and it should work.

  this is the part i am unfamiliar with..

  Does the provider's faq or any other document provide details about the steps to mount iso drive?

  nope.. one of those 6-article knowledge bases..

  And upon contacting them, what do they have to say when requesting details about mounting a custom iso?

  waiting to get a reply..

  It's been more than 3 days now right?

  no i got reply last night saying "mount an iso as a quick workaround" which didn't tell me much, thus all my questions here, since i know many of you guys are linux pros..

  Do they just expect you to study and understand their infrastructure and then figure out how to mount an iso on their hardware that you dont have full access to??? That's just odd and a useless response more than being vague which I previously mentioned. It's like shifting blame to the customer for the provider's lack of proper planning.

  i guess it's assumed that anyone getting LET BF offer knows their way around Linux and ISOs and such..

  But that still doesn't explain how you are supposed to mount an iso if the provider doesn't give you the tools to do that. This is interesting though. BTW, can you tell me what you get when you boot the VPS. Is there any lightweight distro or something already running there?

  just debian 13. i think rescue is available too.. can't recall now, no menu option is available now, everything complains that it cannot be accessed while server is performing a task..

  What are you actually trying to do?

  If he hasn't yet answered, he is trying to run Ubuntu 24 to install and setup dante-server on a VPS that has Debian running currently. They don't have Ubuntu yet, so, he has been asked to add Ubuntu ISO on his own. But, the provider hasn't provided any specific instructions on how to add the ISO and boot from it, since the managing panel or dashboard on the provider doesn't seem to have such an option.

  This might be a very foolish suggestion. But, would it be possible to download and bott off an ISO using the grub commandline?

  Sure. I mean I only use debian nowadays, but if you boot from any kind of ramdisk based kernel image using the VNC console, you can partition the disk as you want it and then debootstrap whatever debian/ubuntu you want into it. It's kind of fiddly and you'll need to google it, but it's essentially just doing by hand what the installer is doing.

  I hate these kind of movies where characters just float over trees and fight. Found them cool when I was a kid and now, find them cringe. I'd rather opt to re-watch a Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee or Donnie Yen classic

  That's one of the essential parts of the Wuxia genre though.

  BTW I didn't finish the film. Only watched 30 minutes before I paused it and put on some music to fall asleep to.

  Oh didn't know these had a genre name. Don't get me wrong, I do watch a lot of movies that make no sense. But, these movies mostly had the same repetitive stuff again and again and again

  I am planning to get my very first GPU atleast after the 8400GS I had years ago. The aim is to use it mainly for AI. I can only find 5060Ti 16GB within my budget. Do you think that's be enough to get me into AI training and such?

  Yup, how would you supply that ramdisk when the provider hasn't explicitly said how it could be done?

  Oh I thought you said to Google for debootstrapping. Oh ok. Now I get your point. Since it already has debian it must have an initial ramdisk there that can be booted into to do the rest of the steps. Am I on the right track, or still need to Google?

  Just google it and find a step-by-step guide. Any problems you have along the way (and it will almost certainly go wrong), also google for solutions. It'll probably take you a few hours and a few fresh starts, but you'll also learn a lot about both debian and ubuntu (because they're essentially the same infrastructure, just different packages) in the process.

They don't have Ubuntu yet, so, he has been asked to add Ubuntu ISO on his own. But, the provider hasn't provided any specific instructions on how to add the ISO and boot from it, since the managing panel or dashboard on the provider doesn't seem to have such an option.

  This might be a very foolish suggestion. But, would it be possible to download and bott off an ISO using the grub commandline?

  Sure. I mean I only use debian nowadays, but if you boot from any kind of ramdisk based kernel image using the VNC console, you can partition the disk as you want it and then debootstrap whatever debian/ubuntu you want into it. It's kind of fiddly and you'll need to google it, but it's essentially just doing by hand what the installer is doing.

  Yup, how would you supply that ramdisk when the provider hasn't explicitly said how it could be done?

  This is why I said you should google how to do it!

  But any debian / ubuntu installation image should be suitable.

  Oh I thought you said to Google for debootstrapping. Oh ok. Now I get your point. Since it already has debian it must have an initial ramdisk there that can be booted into to do the rest of the steps. Am I on the right track, or still need to Google?

  @ralf said: It's kind of fiddly and you'll need to google it, but it's essentially just doing by hand what the installer is doing.

  Just google it and find a step-by-step guide. Any problems you have along the way (and it will almost certainly go wrong), also google for solutions. It'll probably take you a few hours and a few fresh starts, but you'll also learn a lot about both debian and ubuntu (because they're essentially the same infrastructure, just different packages) in the process.

  Thanks for that. I was just curious, let's not forget this one's for bchot
  But yeah, I kinda have a feeling I will face the same issue maybe in the future somewhere. So, your input will prolly help me there unless everything is obsolete by then

  I've done it a few times, but so infrequently I always end up googling stuff and/or reading a guide. I'm just cutting out the middleman here!

  Up until past month, that's the way I used to do and learn things - Googling everything and YouTube esp for hardware mods, until I started using ai agents. But I feel like while they do cut down the time spent on troubleshooting to 1/10th, the stuff I learna bout the whole process has also been cut down to 1/10.

  Subject: Request to Double My Bandwidth (Order #19532915)

  Hello,

  Hope you’re doing well.

  I’d like to kindly ask if you could help me double the bandwidth for my current service under Order #19532915. The current bandwidth is a bit tight for my usage now, and upgrading it would really help improve my connection experience.

  Please let me know if there are any additional fees, steps, or confirmations required from my side to complete this change.

  Thank you very much for your help and support.

  Best regards,

  the beauty of english language.. or the lameness of whoever wrote this description..

  The Last Frontier 2025

  Action, Drama, Thriller score 6.8/10
  Follows Frank Remnick, a U.S. Marshal in charge of the quiet and weathered barrens of Alaska, as he needs to deal with a prison transport plane crash full of violent inmates inside his jurisdiction.

  was the crash full of violent inmates? was he full (of violent inmates)? were inmates from his jurisdiction? very much open to interpretation..

  I have watched Triple Frontier though, with Pedro Pascal, Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac (Moon Knight fans, make some noise), Charlie Hunnam . Some of my most favourite actors, the movie as a whole though was meh.

  haven't seen that one

  Actually maybe a one-time watch worthy. Nothing special.

  then i will just leave it skipped, as i already did skip it. i read the quick description, if it sounds good, - i go for it. most likely..
