Have you encounter following bug when booting your M1 Mac machine when running PostgreSQL, Puma and Ruby on Rails application, this bug is frustrating but there is a really simple solution to this problem, which is to disable <code>PGGSSENCMODE</code>.
Solution:
<pre><code class="lang-bash">export PGGSSENCMODE="disable"
</code></pre>
put above code in your <code>~/.zshrc</code> or <code>~/.bashrc</code> file depending on which shell you are using.
I am using Zsh
<pre><code class="lang-bash">echo $SHELL
/usr/bin/zsh
</code></pre>
And finally, don't forget to reload your terminal, or restart your terminal.
<pre><code class="lang-bash">source ~/.zshrc
rails s
</code></pre>
It should fix that crash issue.
