Has this impacted your self hosted instances of Immich? Are you hosting Immich via subdomain?

Stop using google. Don’t you know their motto? “Be evil”
They’ve also started warning against android apps from outside repos. Basically they want to force people to use their ai-filled bullshit apps.
Google marks half the apps on my phone as dangerous. Google are evil xxxxxx’s
Google, protecting you from privacy
Immich users flag Google sites as dangerous
Same when you try to deviate from the approved path of email providers or, dog forbid, even self-host email.
This is why I always switch off that “block potentially dangerous sites” setting in my browser - it means Google’s blacklists. This is how Google influences the web beyond its own products.
edit: it’s much more complex than simple blocklists with email
I smell fear.
Why are the immich teams internal deployments available to anyone on the open web? If you go to one of their links, like they provide in the article, they have an invalid SSL certificate, which google rightly flags as being a security risk, warns you about it, and stops you from going there without manual intervention. This is standard behaviour and no-one should want google to stop doing this.
I was going to install linux on an old NUC to run immich some time soon, but think I might have to have a look to see if it has been audited by some legit security companies first. How do they not see this issue of their own doing?
You could just host it inside your network and do an always on VPN. That’s what I do.
Now imagine you’re running a successful open source project developed in the open, where it’s expected that people outside your core team review and comment on changes.
