You'll want to look up the QNAP as well. I've seen reports with quite some variety on the power consumption. Depending on the exact model, it could be somewhere in the range from 25W to 55W... So could be less, could be the same. And have a look at the amount of RAM if you want to run services on it.

And I guess if you're in front of the computer, you could just press the reset button or unplug it at that point (after it sucessfully synchronized the disks). no need to let it sit, there is no harm or data to be lost at that point.

I think Radicale, Baikal, SabreDAV or NextCloud are the most common choices. I read those names a lot.
But I believe only one of those isn't written in PHP.

I'd really recommend digging into the "hacking" though. Unless you learn from your specific mistakes and avoid that in the future, you might run in to the exact same issue again. And I mean it could be a security flaw in the program code of the WebDAV server. But it could as well be a few dozen other reasons why your server wasn't secure... (Missing updates, insecure passwords, missing fail2ban, a webserver or reverse proxy, unrelated other software... There are a lot of moving gears in a webserver and lots of things to consider.)

I can't remember the exact details, but I believe the attackers also targeted instances? So it's not just that it happens with certain problematic instances, but everyone could have that uploaded to their media storage. And it can come from arbitrary places. I believe that adds to the problem. And it kind of requires to shut these things down for everyone. Or at least everyone except a few excellent hand-picked instances who cooperate closely, and the moderation tools actually work.

Yes, they've done an excellent job. I just wish they wouldn't have to deal with these things.

(And I also think some of the child protection agencies should finally offer some open-source tool to scan content. Afaik there are still no image classifiers or hash tables I could use for my projects.)

Same, same. I can't verify it and I probably don't want to. But I had people assure to me it happened.

I think they would need to find a way to address the problem first. Reportedly, these images have been a huge problem here on Lemmy. Several times now.

This discussion is about some peculiarities in German law concerning hate speech. And about how it might be considered hate speech if someone were to call for the termination of the country. And how we deal with that here on Lemmy. It's complicated though and you need to read the law and not take my summary. This has nothing to do with whether one or two states or other ideas might be better or worse, or with what's right and what is wrong.

I believe that's what some people who don't like the instance claim. I'm pretty sure I read that, too. But I really can't find it in the rules written by themselves. You can not however say the state of Israel needs to be dissolved in the process, I think that's banned. I'm not a mod there but I'd say as you prased it, it should be fine.

I think if you use a SIP provider, they'll have an app or a description on their website how to connect with third-party software. Just install it on a device you take with you, and configure it as per their description. Examples for Android SIP softphones are Linphone and Baresip.

Other options: you have a AVM Fritzbox at home and install their app. Or you set up an entire PBX like Asterisk or FreePBX or one of the other ones. That's rather complex and involved.

Maybe send the follow-up mail to the moderation team anyway, including full username. And maybe a explanation that you were just questioning the unavailabily of the report, not intending to endorse the wannabe nazi party. So they get what this is about.

How many days did you wait for an answer? Sometimes people are just very impatient and this week thursday to sunday might have been days off for some German people.

Nah, I don't think there's a lot on IPv6 in that book. I think OP's concern is valid. Accessing devices at home isn't unheard of. The amount of smart home stuff, appliances and consumer products increases every day. And we all gladly pay our ISPs to connect us and our devices to the internet. They could as well do a good job while at it. I mean should it cost extra to manage a static prefix, so be it. But oftentimes they really make it hard to even give them money and obtain that "additional" service.

I wonder how often the assigned prefix changes with most of the regular ISPs. I'd have to look someone else's router since I'm still stuck on an old contract. But I believe what I saw with some of the regular consumer contracts: the prefixes stay the same for a long time. You could just slap a free DynDNS service on top and be done with it.

But yes, I think this used to be the promise... We'd all get IPv6 and a lot of gadgets like NAS systems, video cameras and a wifi kettle and they'd be accessible from outside. Instead of that we use big capitalist cloud services and all the data from the internet of things devices has some stopover in the China cloud.
