I've noticed whenever I hit too many links on LinkedIn, it gives me an HTTP 429 error. Apparently this is their version of a rate limit notice.
It's rather interesting and I would like to do similar things on my own server. I have a basic Apache Web server at home and I'm wondering how I could configure it to perform a rate limit. I guess the operating system or Apache would have to identify the individual and not can convoluted with other peoples traffic and then once they've access too many pages in a given amount of time, a generic HTML page is presented rather than the dynamic PHP content.
Any advice would be appreciated. I'm not really sure where to start looking for this stuff. I don't think this is done at the PHP level. I suspect it's done at the Apache of operating system level. Even at the firewall level.
I'm tired of asking for this in the Windows 11 Insider feedback. It seems to me that Microsoft solemnly ignores insiders and their feedback or suggestions made to the system.
It changes the fact that you have legal recourse of copyright laws if you wrote the book without AI. But you have no copyright so no legal recourse if AI wrote it.
