I don't know anything about Ubuntu server but if LTS is in the name it usually means you are using some old versions of various things in order to make it what they call stable.

Yep true the LTS always seems to lag a fair bit behind. Though the F2B repo is abandoned now :( I had to figure out how to compile another program from source a couple weeks back as another repo got abandoned :(

Just because a lot of people agree on something, doesn't make it a fact. ~exxos ~

@rubber_jonnie mentioned to me yesterday that images in particular were loading very slow or not at all.

It took some hours to diagnose the problem. Long story short, After opening a support ticket, Ramnode moved my server to another node on the host and things seem to be running fast again now.

I suspect there was some bad sectors on the SSD as I tested the drive speed before and after the move and afterwards the speed was like 10x faster. This also seems to explain the unusual high CPU usage lately also.
