I think I read something once about using v7 internally and exposing v4 in your API.

Or even an autoincrement int primary key internally. Depending on your scale and env etc, but still fits enough use cases.

Not super likely, I would say. We knew 5.3 was coming for a while and sama cannot stop talking about the current situation on X.

Using its own TERM is a deliberate design decision. I don't remember how to fix the terminal database, but it's pretty easy (your favorite search engine or LLM should be able to help you there).

Or the manual, which describes the features for automatically handling it.

If I install a terminal and SSH doesn't work from it out of the box, I would describe that as a bug and wonder if I need to read the full manual to not fall foul of other gotchas

It is a bug.. But not with Ghostty...

What do you think the bug is, exactly?

Servers throwing "missing or unsuitable terminal" even when the connecting terminal is available and very suitable. And this is just because they hardcode xterm as the "standard".


I definitely have had to poke at things a bit, even where they "should" work. I use salt in my homelab and eventually got the xterm-ghostty.terminfo file and I put it in my baseline salt config, then you run 'tic -x xterm-ghostty.terminfo'.

i had to do this for ssh

host * SetEnv TERM=xterm-256color


I TRUSTED YOU! Nooooooooo!

Anyway, I hope you're happy.

(I thought it would show me a TOS prompt again, but it did not. My bad.)


What? Let me put this warning in the top comment. I got one.

As the help text explains, you can tap to select or unselect any permissions beyond the basics. (Which are admittedly still quite broad.)

You can also use a PAT but that's already too much friction for me for something like this.


Justification of malfeasance is not an excuse.


Yes, that is correct.



"Look ma, no wings!"

:D



And as per the article it is heavily used and customised


I think GP is referring to the name of the site, which sounds like "cash money" if you pronounce it with a thick American accent.


Indeed, I just understood the same when reading it again... I answered too quickly
