Hello,
That's just the new MOTD, I don't see the problem. It's generic and downloaded from the website, so it doesn't know if you're already running the beta or not.

@churchofnoise
Pls can you be more specific what the issue is from your point of view

[churchofnoise]

That's just the new MOTD

So that explains it, probably the change in MOTD occurred close to the moment I upgraded.
I thought I had broken something, my bad...

@Joulinar don't have an issue with it, just thought it wasn't correct...

[Joulinar]

Usually MOTD is updated once a day and if I'm not mistaken on reboot.

[MichaIng]

and if I'm not mistaken on reboot.

Jep, it's stored in /run/dietpi/ tmpfs, hence lost on reboot.

Interesting!!

I noticed the change in MOTD probably because the MOTD hadn't changed since installing DietPi... And here I read it should change daily? (hence motD of course). It doesn't for me.

So, on the other RPi 0W, I still have

(was a fresh install which was then updated to the Beta branch, and also on the master branch this never changed)

[Joulinar]

It did not change daily. The update runs once a day and if there is a new one, it will be updated. But we are not releasing new MOTD each day 😉
