I can only think of two ways if the top of my head:

• Immich runs as root and sets ownership (sounds unsafe)
• Immich is the owner of all the files, but each user has a specific group (bobs-photos) of which Immich and the user are members. Then use the setgid bit to set group ownership and make it g+rwx.

Both sound pretty brittle to me, though, and I haven’t tested this specifically.

I remember the rivalry and how, in the beginning of the 90s, I made good friends with a guy from the “other side” (Him with Atari, me with Amiga) and quickly found we had more in common than we had differences.

Declaring a common enemy in the PC, we both watched our favorite platforms slowly die off with the advent of games like Doom that those old platforms were not equipped to handle.

Most of all I miss the demo scene and all the creativity it fostered. There doesn’t seem to be a modern equivalent for PC where programmers, musicians and artists come together to showcase their work like that. I hope I’m wrong and just haven’t found it yet. I would love to see that be a thing again, especially with AI slop taking over everything.
