It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Books you can read & download for free right now – The Adventures of Dr. Thorndyke

R. Austin Freeman was a member of The Detection Club and he is known for the invention of the inverted mystery, where the reader gets from the beginning the description of the crime and/or the perpetrator, but still wants to read the story to know how or why it was done.

I’m suggesting The Adventures of Dr. Thorndyke, a collection of short stories with a preface where Freeman explains how he came to write this type of mystery. Dr. Thorndyke, Freeman’s detective, is a medical doctor, like its creator, turned forensic scientist, so if you like mysteries with scientific know-how, this is also a good choice.

So, this weekend give yourself some “me time” with no worries, nor rushes, get a cup of tea (or coffee, by all means) and curl up with these (kind of different) mystery stories, because you really deserve it.

You can download the book at Project Gutenberg, there are several formats you can choose to read on your mobile, computer, ereader, you can even read the book on your browser.

(I may be making this “It’s Weekend, Let’s Read” a kind of habit, let me know in the comments if it’s something you’re finding interesting).

OK, Internet hivemind. I want to do a thing I've never actually done before. I want to create an archive of some #PublicDomain information, create a #torrent, and upload the torrent to a tracker.

I have no idea what #tracker to use or even how to find one. Help?

I currently operate a Transmission server that serves up copies of Linux Mint, Raspberry Pi OS, GNU Image Processor, LibreOffice, and some public domain books, but I got the torrents from other people. I've never made my own torrents.

The names/trademarks/insignia are definitely protected.

But I thought the content - images etc - couldn't be. Everything created by the US government and its agencies is ineligible for copyright - or at least that's been the common understanding.

The policy page you point to even seems to confirm this:

"NASA content – images, audio, video, and media files used in the rendition of 3-dimensional models, such as texture maps and polygon data in any format – generally are not subject to copyright in the United States."

This is more of interest to Pirate Party members here. This is what it is:

I've just edited together another soundtrack from modern creative commons tracks for an old silent film, this time for a cult surreal short. You can watch it on PeerTube at:

🍿 The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)

You can also check out my previous modern soundtrack edits for silent films:

🍿 Wings (1927)
fedi.video/w/mnxJLqxaS9yejUAnZ

🍿 The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
fedi.video/w/xAuNMvv5h2qVqtLn5

My personal favourite of these is "Wings", especially once you get to the main part of the story.
