Fixing xterm-ghostty: unknown terminal type Over SSH

Wed, 27 May 2026 13:10:00 +0000

If you use Ghostty as your terminal on macOS and SSH into remote Linux servers, you’ve probably seen this:

root@server:~# clear
'xterm-ghostty': unknown terminal type.

Or this:

missing or unsuitable terminal: xterm-ghostty

This happens to everyone who uses Ghostty with remote servers. Here’s why it happens and how to fix it properly.

Why this happens

Ghostty ships with its own terminfo entry called xterm-ghostty. When you open a terminal, Ghostty sets TERM=xterm-ghostty in your local shell. When you SSH into a remote server, that TERM value gets forwarded. The remote server then looks up xterm-ghostty in its terminfo database — and finds nothing, because xterm-ghostty is not in any standard Linux distribution yet.

Hi, I’m Anurag.

I’m one of those people who can’t quite leave a system alone until I understand what’s actually happening inside it. The thing where you skip the abstraction, peel back a layer, and the world makes a little more sense. That instinct shapes most of my work, and most of what I do when I’m off the clock too.

what i’m into

infrastructure & devops — networks, servers, deployment pipelines. The bits that have to stay up while everyone else gets on with their morning.
self-hosting & the homelab — a quiet little machine under my desk that’s become its own ecosystem. (full tour if you’re curious.)
networking — routing, protocols, the difference between things working and things mysteriously not working. Packet captures are my crossword puzzles.
hardware — Raspberry Pis, FPGAs, keyboards, anything I can take apart and learn from.
AI as a teammate — I use AI heavily for the day-to-day: debugging, log triage, hunting root causes, generating scaffolds, writing tests. Most of my recent side projects (in Go and Rust) were built with Claude Code as the pair sitting next to me.
linux & macOS — daily drivers. Dotfiles, terminal workflows, the small frictions you only notice once you remove them.

what i’ve built

A handful of side projects I’m proud of:

Why Postgres is the last database you'll need ?

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 20:10:12 +0000

Every few months someone on the team opens a Slack thread with “should we add Redis?” or “do we really need Kafka for this?” The answer is usually the same. Not yet. Possibly never.

I have been running Postgres in production for a while now. Over the years I have watched it quietly absorb features that people used to stand up entirely separate services for. At some point you stop thinking of Postgres as “the relational database” and start thinking of it as the default place data goes. Everything else has to earn its spot on the architecture diagram.

The Userspace Tax Behind Protocols - QUIC(UDP) vs TCP

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 08:24:43 +0000

When you’re building a service that requires inter-node communication, one of the earliest decisions is choosing a transport protocol. Nodes need to talk to each other reliably, consistently, and fast. That means picking a foundation to build on.

At the transport layer, there are really only two foundations: TCP and UDP. Everything else is built on top of one of these two. On top of TCP, we have protocols battle-tested in production for years like HTTPS, gRPC, WebSocket, and other custom protocols. These inherit TCP’s reliability, ordering, and congestion control for free because TCP handles all of that at the kernel level. On top of UDP, the most prominent protocol today is QUIC. Designed by Google, standardized as RFC 9000, and powering HTTP/3, QUIC is the one that keeps coming up when teams discuss transport choices.

How Does Your Database Store Millions of Records?

Thu, 01 Jan 2026 17:54:09 +0000

Every time you save a photo, complete a purchase, or send a message, your data travels from application code to permanent storage. But how does this actually work at the physical level?

During my years working with production systems, I’ve seen teams choose the wrong storage engine and suffer 10x performance penalties. The difference between B-Trees and LSM Trees isn’t academic, it’s the reason Discord’s migration to Cassandra made their writes 10x faster, and why Netflix uses different approaches for viewing history versus recommendations.

Why Your App is Still Slow After Optimization?

Sat, 30 Aug 2025 12:31:22 +0000

You have optimized your database queries, your API responds in under 100ms, and your CDN is correctly configured. Yet users still report slow load times, and performance monitoring shows latency spikes that appear without explanation.

The issue often lies outside your application or infrastructure. Two core network protocols can directly impact performance. TCP congestion control may make inefficient decisions about how data flows under varying conditions, and BGP routing can send traffic along longer, suboptimal paths across the internet.

Layer 4 vs Layer 7 Load Balancing Explained

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 09:37:04 +0000

When you browse Instagram, stream Netflix, or shop on Amazon, robust load balancing technology works silently in the background, handling millions of simultaneous requests across multiple server. This critical infrastructure component prevents system overloads and ensures consistent user experiences even during traffic spikes.

Load Balancing Fundamentals

Load balancing distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed. This improves application responsiveness and availability while preventing server failures. The choice between Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing represents a crucial architectural decision with significant implications for performance, security, and functionality.

What is Kernel TLS (kTLS) and Why Offload TLS to the Kernel or NIC?

Wed, 27 Aug 2025 18:34:19 +0000

Most applications today handle TLS encryption in userspace, which creates performance bottlenecks that many developers don’t realize exist. When your web server processes HTTPS requests or your API handles secure connections, every byte of encrypted data requires CPU-intensive cryptographic operations performed by your application process.

This approach works, but it leaves performance on the table. Linux Kernel TLS (kTLS) offers a better way by moving TLS operations closer to the hardware, potentially freeing up significant CPU resources for your actual application logic.

What Makes Bootable Containers Different from Traditional Containers?

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 10:20:20 +0000

If you’ve used containers before, you already know how much they’ve changed the way we build and run apps. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes made packaging and deploying software simpler than ever. But there’s another step forward you might not have seen yet: bootable containers.

The Container Recap

Image Source: Docker

Traditional containers work by sharing the host’s kernel while providing isolated userspace environments for applications. When you run a Docker container, you’re essentially starting a segregated process on your host OS with its own filesystem, network interfaces, and process tree. The container runtime manages these containers on top of your existing operating system.

What's Inside My Home Lab?

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 08:45:00 +0000

Picture this: It’s 2 AM, and I’m staring at my AWS bill with a mix of horror and fascination. Another $100 gone, just for experimenting with some Kubernetes deployments and testing a few CI/CD pipelines. As a DevOps engineer, I live and breathe infrastructure, but those cloud costs were eating into my wallet faster than I could learn.

That’s when it hit me – why not bring the cloud home?

Why You Should Use Vectorization Instead of Loops in Python?

Sun, 14 Jan 2024 02:08:48 +0000

I’ve often come across scenarios where efficiency and speed are of the essence, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex numerical computations. One technique that consistently proves its worth in such situations is vectorization.

I’ll explain why vectorization should be your go-to approach over traditional loops in Python, especially when dealing with array operations.

What is Vectorization in Python?

Vectorization, in the context of Python, refers to the use of optimized, pre-compiled functions that can operate on entire arrays or sequences of data at once, instead of processing each element individually. This is particularly effective when using libraries like NumPy, which is designed for efficient numerical computations.

How to Test the Accuracy, Risks, and Reliability of LLMs with Deepchecks?

Wed, 27 Dec 2023 12:01:28 +0000

As large language models (LLMs) grow more capable with billions of parameters, validating their responsible behaviour throughout training, testing and deployment lifecycles becomes too complex and essential. The accuracy of a language model refers to how well it’s able to generate relevant, factually correct, and coherent text.

While Pre-deployment testing tends to focus narrowly on metrics like perplexity that reward fluent text generation. However, fluency alone cannot guarantee LLMs behave responsibly when deployed.

Should You Use Open Source Large Language Models?

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 15:34:28 +0000

Large language models (LLMs) powered by artificial intelligence are gaining immense popularity, with over 325,000 models available on Hugging Face. As more models emerge, a key question is whether to use proprietary or open-source LLMs.

What are LLMs and How Do They Differ?

LLMs leverage deep learning and massive datasets to generate human-like text
Proprietary LLMs are owned and controlled by a company
Open-source LLMs are freely accessible for anyone to use and modify
Proprietary models currently tend to be much larger in terms of parameters
However, size isn’t everything - smaller open-source models are rapidly catching up
Community contributions empower the evolution of open-source LLMs

How Do (LLM) Large Language Models Work? Explained

A large language model (LLM) is an AI system trained on extensive text data, designed to produce human-like and intelligent responses.
