Useful & colourful MOTD

Poor man's Grafana

At home, I run 3 machines as small servers, but I haven’t set up a monitoring system. Honestly, I probably never will.

So I did the next best thing: a nice MOTD.

Inspiration

A friend who’s also an IT engineer showed me this reddit post, and the associated Github repo.

These two articles were also quite useful ownyourbits.com article and linuxconfig.org.
