Found some weekend reading based on the abstract alone.
_Although it has been a part of the dark underbelly of the Internet since its inception, recent events have brought the discussion board site 4chan to the forefront of the world's collective mind. In particular, /pol/, 4chan's "Politically Incorrect" board has become a central figure in the outlandish 2016 Presidential election. Even though 4chan has long been viewed as the "final boss of the Internet," it remains relatively unstudied in the academic literature.
In this paper we analyze /pol/ along several axes using a dataset of over 8M posts. We first perform a general characterization that reveals how active posters are, as well as how some unique features of 4chan affect the flow of discussion. We then analyze the content posted to /pol/ with a focus on determining topics of interest and types of media shared, as well as the usage of hate speech and differences in poster demographics. We additionally provide quantitative evidence of /pol/'s collective attacks on other social media platforms. We perform a quantitative case study of /pol/'s attempt to poison anti-trolling machine learning technology by altering the language of hate on social media. Then, via analysis of comments from the 10s of thousands of YouTube videos linked on /pol/, we provide a mechanism for detecting attacks from /pol/ threads on 3rd party social media services._

All-in on Ubiquity
Turned off my HP workstation for the last time.
You can get 6CPU, 32GB mem, 300GB disk hosts these days. They're actually pretty decent for most work. You lose hyperthreading but you get 46MB cpu cache. I/O feel relatively snappy.
Get your own https://portal.corp.google.com/
Of course I look forward to the day when all of this runs on GCE and I can remount my block device on a n1-highmem-32 (32 cpus, 208GB memory !!)

Added a new ubiquity instance recently. I'm happy to say that I've moved my home directory to a git repo. For internal usage git on borg is a good choice.
gob-ctl create user/lindner/dotfiles
cd ~
git init
echo "*" > .gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin sso://user/lindner/dotfiles
git push -u origin master
