Add a dynamic MOTD to your Linux server
Setting up a MOTD on your server adds a nice touch that welcomes you warmly every time you connect to it.
I used to make my own MOTD in ASCII text, but I’ve been using dynamic-motd by ldidry for a few years.
It’s simple Bash and Python scripts that are executed in place of the MOTD. It seems they are only compatible with Debian-based distributions, though.
It’s very easy to setup.
Do a speedtest from your terminal with speedtest-cli
Have you ever wanted to make a speedtest from your terminal, and not from these heavy websites stuffed with ads? How about from a headless machine like a server?

Micro: a modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
Text editors are a very personal choice and can lead to endless debates to discuss which one is the best.
Across terminal editors, Vim and Nano are certainly the most popular. Vim is complex, but highly customizable and incredibly efficient when you master it, and Nano is easy to approach and use but is way less powerful.
And in between, there is now micro: it’s a terminal text editor like the two above, but with the best of both worlds. Chek out all the features!
