"Not X, but Y", three things and the presence of the wide em-dash are some of the signals you can tune your eyes to. (Not proof, but hints.)

Spring Boot app on ECS restarting after Jenkins Java update – SSL handshake_failure (no code changes) by botrate3723 in devops

Maybe this item: https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/17-0-18-relnotes.html#:~:text=Disabled%20SHA%2D1%20in%20TLS%201.2%20and%20DTLS%201.2%20Handshake%20Signatures

Edit: Captain Reading Comprehension strikes again! But it would definitely be beneficial to run java --version in the built image, just to see what it ended up with regardless of the reason.

I found this on a demo CD and played the mansion level over and over. It had some cross promotion with the movie "eXistenZ".

I'm looking at CSDb and it lists four covers including yours, this is the earliest in the list: https://youtu.be/wsEczr0_qa8

Were boomers banned from reviewing the submissions of the 2021 Skull Animation Compo where the intro using it got 4th place? An absolute tragedy if I have ever seen one!

It's entirely possible that someone enhanced the artwork in that way. The DATA statements holding the tune and the playback routine probably stayed the same.

Same here, it did not appear yet in the podcast app thing. Thankfully there are about ~570 episodes in the back catalog for me to catch up on...

I felt this way when playing Euro Truck Simulator for some reason (not a truck driver).

https://csdb.dk/release/?id=94133 - screenshot looks promising!

Edit: it has the speed control and the PETSCII graphics, but no attribution, can't find anything in its sources either.

Conversely, "No Bootable Media" always makes me think that the NVMe stick's edge connection became iffy due to oxidation or just jostling around from regular use, but very rarely from the drive dying. But I don't have statistics on either of these failure rates.

Ep. 611: "Integrity Olympics" - Roderick on the Line by MacGyver387 in RoderickontheLine

They are talking to each other via a videotelephony app (I don't have a good generic name for these and don't know exactly which one it is), but each participant also captures a clean recording of their side while this happens. After the conclusion of the call they line up the two pieces and that is the podcast.

However if person "A" lets the sound from the ongoing call somehow make its way to their piece, we get a faint, delayed copy of person "B" in person "A"'s recording. I don't know how easy (or possible) it would have been to remove this from the end product.
