TIL YIG filters (Yttrium Iron Garnet), which is used in microwave RF filters to make a pass-band that sits north of 3GHz.

This does _nothing_ to dispel the notion that RF engineering is just modern alchemical bullshit. Look at this simplified representation of a YIG filter on wikipedia. Oh yeah, you pass two microstrips at an angle near a mysterious Sphere Of Filtering, and its ravenous maw consumes the 0-3GHz frequencies to feed its demonic ambitions. But sure yeah, enjoy your filtered signal.

A simplified representation of a YIG microwave filter. Two strips of copper cross at a right angle. At the crossing sits a sphere of a magical crystal, which the traces skirt around without touching. This, apparently, becomes an RF filter at microwave frequencies.

This year has brought enormous uncertainty to Carolina Common Enterprise, challenging whether we should even continue as an organization. After some difficult discussion, we decided to set a new course and rework our business model to carry the cooperative movement forward in this new funding environment. As we enact this new approach, we need the support of our partners and friends. Help us bridge the chasm.

So, I checked the references of the Wikipedia article "link rot", and I decided to click on the first URL to a paper that I saw in the references.

Needless to say, the link did not lead me to a paper:

Screenshot of me attempting to access a paper from cdn.harvardlawreview.org, which is not functioning because of a misconfiguration in Cloudflare or the web server itself. As a consequence, the link to a paper about link rot (or "link death") is dead itself.
