motd
Message of the Day
When you login over ssh, the message of the day (motd) is displayed.
On a default Debian installation, it looks like this:
Linux T450s 4.19.0-6-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.67-2+deb10u2 (2019-11-11) x86_64 The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

Updated MOTD
The motd can easily be extended with useful information
by placing some scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/.
With additional scripts in place, it could look like this:
