Never go full cringe
Never go full cringe
Has my motd gone too far? It loads a random ANSI catgirl from a folder. I use arch btw, server runs minimized Ubuntu Server.

I thought motd could not be scripted hmmm...
/etc/motd no, but it runs the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/
Never tried it, and IIRC, motd is just a text file - but does that stop you from running a systemd timer to update it every few minutes? Or, if it's your own server and there's only a single user (logging in), put a script in your profile that changes the motd for the next login?
For multiple users: /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc
Some shells (e.g.
fish) allow you to easily customize this.
