I've learned to live with having WireGuard/Tailscale on all the time on my own devices. But for giving (extended) family & friends access to shared albums with Immich, it's too imp…

Thanks for posting this! I'm the admin of an OCF-hosted Collective, but I didn't receive that email yet.

I really like the ideation here (and in the HN comments!). They're not the first to come up with most of these ideas though, the Nudge extension ( https://nudgeware.io/ ) already h…
