Rendezvous For Apache

Posted by pudge on from the next-up-is-zeroclick dept.

sapporo writes "Eric Christopher Seidel has released mod_rendezvous. The DSO lets the Apache that comes with Mac OS X advertise its services on the local network via Rendezvous, so it will show up in Safari's Rendezvous Bookmarks section. This lets you browse all web servers on the local network very conveniently. Nice one!" I wonder, could it work on Linux too? I would think so ...

    Question one: why is this on the front page?
    Question two: why does nearly nobody care enough to comment?

    Rendezvous (zeroconf) is really cool technology imho but most likely too cutting edge for most linux users. This will most likely change as soon a it becomes a formal accepted rfc.

    Apple is just early with this and as long as people don't understand what the posibilities are, haven't experienced the advantages, this will not draw much replies.

    To bad, maybe /. isn't the place to talk about new technology. I hope that I am wrong.

    I submitted this story DAYS ago. Eric actually released the module on WEDNESDAY, less than 24 HOURS after Safari came out. I submitted the story THAT DAY. What happened? It sat in the story queue for 24 hours and then got FUCKING REJECTED, that's what.

    God damn editor mother fucking IDIOTS!
