Question

I have a MacBookPro with Monterey (OSX 12.6.9) installed. When I start the terminal("Terminal.app" application), the application crashes right away. It even crashes in safe-mode boot of the OS. What can I do or check to solve this problem?

Answer

If Terminal.app is crashing immediately upon launch, it can be a frustrating issue to deal with.

You know how, in JavaScript, we can set a value to a variable if one doesn't, like this:

name = name || 'joe';

This is quite common and very helpful. Another option is to do:

name || (name = 'joe');

While a lot of Node.js guides recommend using JWT as an alternative to session cookies (sometimes even mistakenly calling it "more secure than cookies"), this is a terrible idea. JWTs are absolutely not a secure way to deal with user authentication/sessions, and this article goes into more detail about that.

Secure user authentication requires the use of session cookies.

Cookies are small key/value pairs that are usually sent by a server, and stored on the client (often a browser). The client then sends this key/value pair back with every request, in a HTTP header. This way, unique clients can be identified between requests, and client-side settings can be stored and used by the server.

Session cookies are cookies containing a unique session ID that is generated by the server. This session ID is used by the server to identify the client whenever it makes a request, and to associate session data with that request.

Formatting

If the resource is available online (legally) I have included a link to it. Each entry has symbols following it.

⨕⨕⨕ indicates difficulty/depth, from ⨕ (easy to pick up intro, no background required) through ⨕⨕⨕⨕⨕ (graduate level textbook, maths heavy, expect equations)
⭐ indicates a particularly recommended resource; 🌟 is a very strongly recommended resource and you should look at it.
