You need to connect your own wallet to your Alby Account and take custody of funds that belong to you.
It works best with Alby Hub, which is free and open-source software. You can run it on your own device. No subscription needed.
Obviously Alby Cloud is the fastest and easiest option.

Yes. Sounds like you connected the already running node on your Umbrel to Alby Hub.
Migrations from LND the Alby Hub with the integrated node are not possible for now. You can start a new Hub anytime.

Yes, also on self-hosted if you run the default Alby Hub version and its integrated lightning node.
LND doesn't support BOLT-12 yet unfortunately.

Currently, only Alby Hubs using the integrated lightning node support Bolt12 and many more unique features such as dynamic channel backups.

7/ Every release is special. Just like our cypherpunks. And this time we’re celebrating the man behind Penet remailer, Johan Helsingius @nprofile…mr6u 🎭
The Penet remailer (anon.penet.fi) was a pseudonymous remailer operated by Johan of Finland from 1993 to 1996. Its initial creation stemmed from an argument in a Finnish newsgroup over whether people should be required to tie their real name to their online communications. Julf believed that people should not-indeed, could not-be required to do so. In his own words:
> “Some people from a university network really argued about if everybody should put their proper name on the messages and everybody should be accountable, so you could actually verify that it is the person who is sending the messages. And I kept arguing that the Internet just doesn’t work that way, and if somebody actually tries to enforce that, the Internet will always find a solution around it. And just to prove my point, I spent two days or something cooking up the first version of the server, just to prove a point.”
Thank you, Johan, for fighting for our rights to digital privacy 🫡🧡
