That thing you could've sworn you existed, remembered existed and how it has now turned into a great wonder of a chase to acquire again after so long. What is that thing for you?

Mine is discovering what music was played during an old internet radio show I still listen to was. The episodes I'm listening to are 21 years old now and for years I wondered what specific tracks were played on that show that I so want copies of. In one of the episodes, the host mentions that the backing music is from Digitally Imported now known as DI.FM.

However, that doesn't do me any good since newer music is played now on that platform and with no hint or source telling me what tracks were played on that show in show notes or even word of mouth, I've no hope in tracking them down. So for so long, I've had to listen to this show's episodes almost religiously, just because of the music that was played.

And my only hope now is tinkering with audio tools so I can figure a way to rip out the parts where the hosts are talking so it is just the music, then go around online asking people who're more expert on the genre than I am to tell me, then find them and download them.

I was just listening recently to a podcast that brought up a BGP highjack.

Some people involved with the Pirate Bay got into the BGP router for North Korea and made it look like they were hosted there for a while. Maybe you're thinking of that?

Relevant clip from the episode as a youtube short. Full episode on Youtube. Episode page on the Darknet Diaries site, with download link, cited sources, and full transcript.

It looks like perhaps it was a myth.
According to root-servers.org:

There are multiple documented instances of middleboxes interfering with root server system traffic. However, we believe this is the first documented case where routes to root server prefixes were hijacked using BGP.

Bummer.

Edit: This article describes an attack this year. I was thinking of an older one.
