Homelab Hero · No. 013: your result

Second-best call. 40 Hero Points.

Safe, and nothing is exposed overnight — that earns the partial credit. But the night's photo backup sync fails and every service stays dark until morning, all to avoid a renewal that takes minutes tonight. You traded a small, known job for a night of downtime.

The lesson: Closing the port is safe but expensive. A renewal takes minutes — do it tonight.
