I can confirm. My public transportation works here.
It just needs a zone Q ticket. I was told “Ticket not valid for this zone”
Je peux confirmer. Ma carte de transport en commun fonctionne ici.
Ça prend juste un billet de zone Q. Je me suis fait dire « Billet non valide pour cette zone »

I recommend prospective users to read the FAQ. It comes with a lot of gotchas.
It’s really a digital version of the OPUS cards, with the same constraints.

Je suggère que les usagers potentiels lisent la FAQ. Elle vient avec beaucoup de bémols.
C’est vraiment une version numérique des cartes OPUS, avec les mêmes contraintes.

The ARTM has finally launched the virtual OPUS card*
https://www.artm.quebec/en/chrono-aide/how-to-use-the-virtual-fares-feature/
At least, like any virtual card that respects itself, it’s free instead of $6
L’ARTM a finalement lancée la carte OPUS dématérialisée*
https://www.artm.quebec/chrono-aide/comment-utiliser-la-fonctionnalite-titres-virtuels/
Au moins, comme toute carte dématérialisée qui se respecte, elle est gratuite au lieu de 6$
Cryptography, privacy, quantum security, infosec, retro vibes. I am a mathematician and computer security scientist, with a strong interest in cryptography and anonymity, specialized in quantum security and complex cryptographic protocols. I am also a privacy hacktivist and public speaker, blahblahblah, read my Linkedin bio for this s**t, this is my Mastodon corner. I co-develop Shufflecake, an open source privacy disk encryption tool to help journalists, activists, and whistleblowers evade unjust prosecution. I am an advocate of digital self-sovereignty. You will see me often ranting about Big Tech, enshittification, and surveillance capitalism. Fascinated with anime, Japan, RPGs, retro computing, and all things 80-90's. Notice I wrote "fascinated", not "knowledgeable". Here you won't find peace nor forgiveness, but just: #cryptography #privacy #quantum #security #infosec #retro vibes!
One day I hope to move to Scotland but currently I'm based in Sheffield, UK; I also love reading, comedy, plants, nature, fungi, winter sports and pc gaming (She/Her, Bi 🏳️🌈) Friday nights I will toot along with Top of the Pops (a music programme that was aired in the UK between 1964-2006 but is now shown by BBC4) using the hashtag #TOTP if you are not keen on music or do not want your feed to be filled with observations feel free to mute me on Friday evenings (7pm UK time)
Today I rented a server for the first time in my life. I ordered it on Monday, today I finally got access. Obviously, I've used #SSH many times before, since years. I know the ssh-keygen -t ed25519 by heart.
I wanted to have the server config reproducible, so I asked #claude #opus (you know, the "smart" one) to write an ansible playbook for me. (Because I've never really used ansible before.)
Within two/three hours I had gotten myself twice into a situation where I needed to access the server through some fallback method (server console in the browser). 
The reason is that I wanted a somewhat hardened SSH setup. So Claude produced a config with PermitRootLogin no. Sensible. I saw it.
I ran ansible, afterwards I couldn't log in anymore, because #Claude recommended to defer creating a non-root user account to the second step. I didn't think it through enough. That was issue 1.
The fix was simple enough:
I restored SSH access for root. I adapted the ansible playbool so that PermitRootLogin would only be set if there are other admin users. That fixed issue 1.
So I continued.
I set the config for adding the new user. It got added to the sudo group, but I didn't want to allow sudo without password. The user got it's own SSH key, the .ssh folder and the .ssh/authorized_keys had the right permissions. I ran ansible again. It worked, the new user was created. Now that there was another admin user in the config, ansible reestablished the PermitRootLogin no.
I tried to log in as the new user, no problem. I tried running sudo and... it asked for the new user's password. But the user didn't have a password. That was issue 2.
Fixing it was again simple: Log in as root (via the web console), set a password for the user.
Still, I'm quite annoyed by myself screwing up two times in so short succession. Normally I pride myself in knowing what I'm doing (in most things I'm doing).
Looking for work! Data scientist who likes to extend the life of technology. #tech, #politics, #furry. The best time to own a computer was 2005. Let's create the electronics renaissance.
AOM is also working on OAC, the successor to the #Opus audio codec. I'm surprised for a few reasons:
But I suppose AI or traditional codecs will continue to improve, especially below 96k.
