I am, in no particular order, an open source enthusiast, a space nerd, a husband, a father, and an IT Professional.
Well, that rabbit hole led to a collapsed tunnel with a sign that said "sorry I guess": the Galaxy S7 Edge Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 version has a locked bootloader that is unlikely to be broken. In essence, I can root my phone thanks to the awesome hackers who risked their devices to bring root access to everyone, but I can't install a custom ROM even if I am rooted. There are also reports of poor performance and higher than normal heat generation. Sad, but I might just try Nova launcher instead.
Just tried my hand at some #astronomy photography with my wife's DSLR. I'm still figuring out the best way to take the photos (ISO settings, delay, exposure time, and the like). It was a lot of fun though, and very relaxing.
To increase visibility for people searching, my recent topics of discussion are:
Wow, it seems like almost all the custom ROM development for the Galaxy S7 Edge is for the Exynos models. I guess I understand why, since almost the entire world uses the Exynos processor instead of the Snapdragon, but it's unfortunate that a flagship phone might still be passed over either way. I'll keep looking though!
I go back and forth with wanting to root and flash my phone. I have a Galaxy S7 Edge. Has anyone else rooted and flashed this phone and have a recommendation for a good ROM? I used to use Paranoid Android and had a good experience with it. I am very attached to the Edge panel drawer since I can have quick access to any of my apps without having to pull an Apple and go back to the homescreen to start a new one or sort through the Rolodex-style app card screen. Anybody have recommendations?

My sleep schedule is all out of whack. I had to stay up all night on Sunday working on a customer VM so it would be functional as soon as possible. I slept through most of what my normal work hours are yesterday, and now my mind and body are like "Ooh! We like that sleeping during the day think, let's do that!" but responsibility and scheduling do not allow for that.

Did someone call a tootcat?
They say only overweight people drink Diet Coke, and yet here I am, not overweight, drinking Diet Coke. I'm a mold smasher.
*takes long drag on cigarette* Twitter? A site for birds... and where do birds live? an Aviary, a CAGE
Mastodons? hmmm? *another long drag* they are FREE, they roam the earth, go where they please... Yes, I'd like to come back as a Mastodon
Did somebody say "post more cats"?

Ah, I love how people complain that they could be impersonated on a decentralized network.
your handle is not just @[username]
it's @[username]@[instance] so compare it to email. Share your link or your full handle, so people know it's you.
That's how it works. It's a feature.
