429 Too Many Requests #385
Description
Recently a bunch of CI failures have occurred with this error, mostly from YouTube. Not sure what the solution is. I'm also not sure if this is Travis or YouTube...
@Mark-Simulacrum @pietroalbini do you know if this would be mitigated by moving to Azure?

Do you have links to some of these CI failures? Are you intentionally contacting YouTube?

Is the link checker still active?

There are a few more I think.
We link to the compiler lecture series videos on YT. These failures are from the linkchecker attempting to contact YT and failing with 429.

Hmm, does linkchecker set a browser user agent?

No idea... cc @Michael-F-Bryan

I don't believe we set a user agent. The validator just calls
reqwest::get()without doing anything fancy.mark-i-m commentedon Jul 17, 2019
For now, I am just going to blacklist yt feom the linkchecker because CI has been down for a while.

We haven't seen this in a while, so I am closing...

This has been occurring (spuriously) again. Can we ignore
429 Too Many Requestserrors in linkcheck? (See #885 for some discussion.)
