I will decide what's high importance, thanks:

Is the domain name in one of those "Backup Alert" rules incorrect?

You are 100% correct that there are plenty of more bad opinions where those came from. You do, however, seem to be confused about a couple of things:

1. I do not, and never said, that mfa in general is a bad thing. I am using it for paypal, digital ocean, blackblaze, google, (ignoring the lol-sms from the banks), work. You know, important poo poo. Stuff that matters.
2. Mandated MFA is a bad thing for a git backup service (yes, you've read that correctly). Why did I used github? For convenience. Impede that in any way shape or form and im taking my toys and move to another git backup service. "But github cures cancer". I don't care. Never did, never will.

Now, they are free to demand whatever poo poo they want, those are, after all, their computers. I am also free to complain about it on a dead gay comedy forum. And you are free to disagree all you want.

If you just use it to do "git push -f" why does mfa matter in the first place - is mfa required for ssh too? And at what level does mfa for a backup service matter? Being aware that someone is trying to overwrite your backups sounds useful.

Second, you remind me of those people who complain about https everywhere. "But data on my site doesn't matter that much and acme is hard :mad:

I assume they mean this, which I found at their github: https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/3225

There's also https://github.com/valinet/ExplorerPatcher/issues/3053 and even Raymond Chen: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20230324-00/?p=107966. I understand the MS developer position that it sucks having to spend time on spurious crash reports because people are doing weird undocumented hacks... But there's a reason people do it, and maybe they should focus that anger on the screwed up product teams rather than customers who want their productivity back.
