Saw a dead link and made the mistake of running `make linkcheckdocs`.
Now I'm knee-deep in it and cannot ignore all the dead and redirected
links. A day later, I've had enough so this is what I managed to fix in
that time. There are many URLs still redirecting (could be fine, but
needs to be individually checked as some big companies have a tendencies
to redirect to generic pages instead of issuing 404s...) or returning
4xx. The issue is that those 4xx also need to be individually checked
because since the AIpocalypse has started many websites now have web
crawler protection in place and linkcheck will trigger those and be
denied access (or be heavily rate limited).
Please be mindful and only run this script once, save its output and
work on fixing individual errors without rerunning the script, otherwise
we would only participate in hammering websites even more (linkcheck
runs multiple workers in parallel and retries when rate-limited).
Note that linkcheck doesn't check for links in code-blocks so our
instructions may point at dead links also.
At an attempt to avoid tens of people running linkcheck at the same
time, here's the output sorted and filtered on !ok status:
