Oh! It could be. The site didn’t work on my phone, I just saw a blank white page, so I scrolled until I saw a restore button, which I believe was almost at the bottom of the screen. So maybe a user error coupled with the site not rendering.
This was my first time using the website. I guess showing a very long list of all the npubs is not super user friendly, it would probably be simpler if it just showed the count of npubs in each backup, and if someone really wants to see the list they can click into it. This would also make the contact page shorter.
I was able to find a complete list, and restored it.
It still didn’t solve my issue I have in the recorded video.

Well, easy enough to avoid unwittingly being "the other man", nowadays.
Also, if the "other man" has children with her, too, or is incapable of siring children, he may decide it's worth the effort. Being a stepfather isn't necessarily a bad deal.

i've seen some people say recently that they don't think that ACL can work with nostr
they are wrong
it's just that we still don't have ubiquitous support of the AUTH required to do it
nor do we have clients that can be configured to restrict where they send queries or publish events, in any significant way
the spec has no opinion about how implementations do client connections or send relays, except to a small extent in the NIPs that relate to discoverability and network intelligence
this is currently only a cultural feature, the money that is going into nostr dev currently is preferring the censorship resistance part of the equation and are not interested in the roll-your-own intranet comms system part
controlling access does not interfere with censorship resistance, in fact it will in the long term help because it will make paid services that achieve profitability sooner and once they break past that line they then can start contributing more back to the ecosystem as well as attract more users with marketing funds
the shitcoin culture is looking for ways to expand the pool of suckers to sell stupid unsecured securities to, and they sure as hell would like less friction for users to fall into their traps, while at the same time, they also are torn about this because they want to capture them for life
but i'm pretty sure that casual shitcoinery way way way exceeds the avid Calvin Ayre fools in terms of net funding captured by shitcoinery, which means that low friction, borderless instant messaging and forum systems are going to increasingly be important to them, and they are gonna want access control systems and "familiar" looking account systems
zebedee already did this and got laughed out of the story, and their attempts to build moats around users and not let them leak into the nostr ocean hasn't been very successful so far
that's because the whole point of this thing is about that low friction, user mobility... one key, a million clients, that's where we are going, and that's what has the most momentum
and being able to restrict access to resources to paid or sponsored userbases is critical to making the numbers go into the black

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_email
in case you think that nostr isn't important or isn't likely to become the next SMTP/POP/IMAP
email technology was around since the early 60s
it wasn't until 1971 that someone started writing an open standard for it, a shitload of RFCs, and many different people, from students to company programmers were building implementations
what we are doing with nostr is a natural evolution from email and instant messaging systems, which have largely been monopolised, again, by several large spooky organisations
it wasn't until 1983 that they even had SMTP
it wasn't until webmail that email even got to the general public in 1995
so, we are 2 years in, probably we won't see this dominate the domain of messaging for another 5 years but it's going to become increasingly important because the more people interoperate, the more people can interoperate, and that has a network effect
no proprietary, corporate protocol and suite can ever prevail over this except in as far as like Gmail has done, by being funded to the gills by shadowy figures behind the curtain
no normal business can afford a 20+ year long runup until profitability, that should be a red flag
so, even if it looks like we have a long way to go, actually, you look at all the spook funded (be it FSB, CIA, NSA, MI6, ASIO, or whatever) "companies" that run most of internet communications now
they are losing their grip and when it starts being visible to normies the asymptotic curve is already heading for the acceleration zone

Those sexually-demanding men also avoided me like they plague, by the way, because they can tell who will "put out" and who won't. They all think like this toxic dude, calling women whores and whatnot. They can't stand me. 😂
And they tend to not pay for dates, nowadays, so expecting payment helps avoid them. They're all trying to run game and just bang a different chick every Friday, without even buying her a drink.

No, I definitely advise that.
She doesn't HAVE to marry and she might even be the wealthier person at the date.
Nobody ever considers the fact that this is part of associative mating. You're looking for the sort of man you are used to being around.
And if those men are generous, they also will advise you to look for someone generous because they don't want you bringing someone else to their home, later. You are picking someone out to enlarge your extended family, after all. Everyone has to deal with this guy. Everyone has to "date" him, at some point. You think they want to "date" some guy that wouldn't even buy a round?

It's bonkers.
And we put a lot into savings and then five weird things, like car accidents or the washing machine flooding the basement, happen, and savings all gone.
When you have multiple people in the house, that is more people with more things, who make weird things happen. 😂
And then someone loses their job or a family business has a bad year... but you still have all those people and your running costs are relatively fixed, so yay. 🤷♀️

Marriage scales really well (only need one toaster, one trash can, one TV, you can cook together, etc.), but some things grow nearly linearly.
You can't just buy one steak and cut it into smaller and smaller pieces, for the number of people at the table. You have to multiply the steaks. And if you have a hungry, sporty teenager or two, you probably need to add a steak for good luck.

Tonight I brought my daughter to her class. Outside were four mothers watching the class through a one-way mirror and visiting. Naturally, one of the mothers decided that she would introduce herself to the only man waiting for his daughter, and we struck up a conversation about large families. Listening was a woman with both sides of her head shaved, and long hair down the center in a braid. She interjected her experiences in began to explain her husband had left her several years ago, she was living in an RV with her two children, and now she's expecting. While looking into her eyes, I could see the same pleasant pain that my own mother had all the time I knew her. This woman, despite having a butch haircut, had an intrinsic beauty about her in the form of a type of glow. My own mother is said to have had the same beauty when she was that age. Even until her last day she denied regretting pushing my father away. I can see that same pain in this woman who is confronting raising a girl and two boys by herself.

I identify with your perspective, however you conflate christian religion with christianity. Religion is what you get when grifters try to "save" people by collecting a tithe and form a government and law to "make them christian." The role of religion is to preserve and transmit the good news, but its also a snare for those that don't recieve the good news and instead make the promulgator into an idol.
Regardless, i don't think the golden rule is learned, instead i believe its a rationalization of the empathy instinct. This is what is meant by the Law is written in men's hearts.
Rom 2:14-15 KJV For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

This is really, really good and worth the read. @npub1sg6…f63m discusses his exit from Bluesky, the mistakes that Bluesky made, censorship with Twitter, why he's bullish on Nostr's future, and more. Thanks for all of your support, Jack. You're a legend. https://www.piratewires.com/p/interview-with-jack-dorsey-mike-solana
