FireMotD is end of life #1920

Issue information:

FireMotD is end of life and has been for some time. From https://github.com/OutsideIT/FireMotD

The original maintainer of FireMotD is stepping down. As of 2024-01-01, this project is no longer maintained by the original author. The OutsideIT GitHub project will be closed. The community is encouraged to fork, modify, and maintain their own versions of FireMotD if wanted.

Assuming we don't want to take on ongoing maintainence of this project ourselves, I recommend switching to another service. I've been using FastFetch: https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch for some months now and can recommend it.

If agreed that this is the way to go, I can try to whip together a PR to switch to this over the next week or so.

It's super configurable but my current config for FastFetch appears as:

Obviously we'd use an openHAB logo instad of an OS logo.

I like this idea, I've been dissatisfied with FireMotD for some time, but haven't had time to really find a suitable replacement. I think this is a great alternative, especially if we can throw together an openHAB logo for it too.
