Anyone knows what does this message means? It started to appear after SSH login in a server Ubuntu 16.04. This is wierd Thank you.


That message is generated by the MOTD (Message of the Day) when you log into a system via ssh. That message is actually generated from /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news by pulling the text from https://motd.ubuntu.com/

Example:

terrance@terrance-ubuntu:~$ /etc/update-motd.d/50-motd-news 

 * Overheard at KubeCon: "microk8s.status just blew my mind".

To configure if you see the news or not or if you want it to show something of your own look at editing /etc/default/motd-news where it is stated:

# This is a useful way to provide dynamic, informative
# information pertinent to the users and administrators
# of the local system
