Uncommon Sense: Edward B. Foote’s Plain Home Talk (1896 edition)
An encyclopedic tome of health advice that unpicks the biases of its time.

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.
Uh, my priest agreed with my email about not using Generative AI images but jujitsued me, and now I've been asked to advise the team on where to get public domain art. Anyone have any good resources for public domain Christian religious art? Help!
"Maybe they won't remember our #plundering of their life savings," the kakistocrats are likely thinking.

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."
Standard #Ebooks is a volunteer-driven project that produces new editions of #publicdomain ebooks that are lovingly formatted, open source, free of U.S. #copyright restrictions, and #free of cost.
Oh, rejoice!
Standard Ebooks is here to save us from the tyranny of poorly formatted public domain texts! Because nothing screams "liberated" like a laboriously re-typeset 19th-century novel!
Just the #revolution we needed, if you’re a font enthusiast with too much time.

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)
https://fedi.video/w/kjjkKYs1k8jZunu8sWtScM
You can also check out my previous modern soundtrack edits for silent films:
Wings (1927)
https://fedi.video/w/mnxJLqxaS9yejUAnZPNYcH
The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
https://fedi.video/w/xAuNMvv5h2qVqtLn5b38Vj
My personal favourite of these is "Wings", especially once you get to the main part of the story.

I don't see any reason to poison the well for the bots in this specific case. OurAirports.com is #publicDomain #openData, and everyone (even AI) is welcome to use it. I just want to make sure they don't slow it down for human users.
