Japan is the only country where married couples must take the same name. What is standing in the way of change?

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s sudden announcement late last week of his plan to dissolve his political faction in order to restore public trust in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party — and his own administration — appears to be a gamble that has failed. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/01/22/japan/politics/ldp-factions-kishida-popularity/?utm_content=buffer142c8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn

After many years of package maintenance in #debian, I finally resolved to adopt the orphaned #autodir tool for #Linux, which is based on #autofs and we actively use at work. It used to be also packaged in Fedora until 2015.
See https://github.com/fpl/autodir for the new home and updates.

In the meantime, I also updated its seasoned #LDP howto, but I wonder if the Linux Documentation Project will live again or not in the future: apparently the whole project pages and mirrors seem frozen as an ice cube.
