Yes, it's best to use nutritional yeast for savory foods. It really does bump up the umami flavor pretty well, and I think it tastes good, but I actually use it more for the flavor than for any nutritional aspect. Common uses in my kitchen:
- Using it with salt and water makes a kind of chicken broth'y flavor.
- Butter or margerine on toast, then sprinkle nutritional yeast on top. Doesn't sound like it'll be good but a friend introduced this to me and it's one of my favorite snacks.
- Add to tomato sauce for a "meat drippings" like flavor. For an easy and cheap spaghetti bolognese use TVP, nutritional yeast, a dash of tarmari, and your usual tomatoes and oregano and basil.
- Of course, a lot of people use it as fake cheese... you can make a "nacho cheese" type flavor out of it easily
There are two books I have found that have recipes for vegan cheese. Nutritional yeast is a common ingredient. Eventually I'm going to try some of the recipes.
Nutritional yeast also has some health benefits beyond the standard nutritional content.

Australians have something called Vegemite which they use like you say, on toast. (British too, with Marmite.) It's even mentioned in a song by the band Men at Work - "vegemite sandwich" or some such phrase - heard it as a kid.
Let’s not forget that dairy is heavily subsidized and created in larger scales.
There’s also ripple-nutritious pea milk. The unsweetened, original flavor has no carbs and factually more protein than really needed for a bowl of cereal.
I know quite a few people employed working on Clojure. It's true that none of them are spectacularly large corporations, but there are quite a few companies out there using it day to day.
One of the big challenges mentioned with promises is that you have to kind of commit to promises linking to promises... this is a common problem with async systems added later, where you have to "line them up like gears", and you can't just do async functions which call non-async functions which call async functions and expect it to work. Python has this problem too.
There's a solution in delimited continuations, however delimited continuations seem to only be used and understood in the Scheme community (are they used anywhere else?). Delimited continuations allow you to suspend your code to a "prompt" lower in the stack at that point... and it doesn't matter if you have non-"async" code in between.
It'll be nice when they make their way to other more mainstream languages.
Currently ActivityPub servers in practice use HTTP Signatures and Linked Data Signatures, so there's a certain amount of proof of the origin of messages there. But in moving towards a much more peer to peer system, we can do even better by stripping out SSL Certificate Authorities and DNS altogether. The paper linked above discusses one path to accomplishing that in ActivityPub using DIDs. Hope that's interesting to you!
Systems like Twitter, Facebook, etc use tons of resources scaling up. There may be some duplication amongst it but spreading things out also distributes much of the load.
Has the internet really regressed so much that developers would also make the argument that it's a better idea to have one or two email providers, for instance, than have it be a distributed system? What about many wordpress instances, etc?
Hi! I'm co-editor of ActivityPub, so maybe I can answer some things. Identity portability could mean a few things; ActivityPub on its own will let you interact with identities on other servers (though Mastodon could do this before its adoption of AP, through OStatus... it has better private delivery now though). However, maybe what you mean is the ability of an identity to be "nomadic". If you use ActivityPub with https based identifiers, you're still tied to a single instance.
However! It will be possible for ActivityPub applications to move in the direction of being more distributed systems... in fact I wrote a paper on this which I will be presenting at Rebooting Web of Trust in October: https://gitlab.com/dustyweb/talks/blob/master/activitypub/rw...
There's a lot of ideas in that paper, but the one that applies to a nomadic identity is Decentralized Identifiers support, or DIDs: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-spec/
DIDs are being worked on by the W3C Credentials Community Group (which I am also a part of) and will permit having an identity that is "self-soverign". How I imagine this would work in an application like Mastodon, if Mastodon decides to include support for it in the future, is that you would register a DID for yourself and then go to your profile page and associate that DID with your user. You'd then have identity that isn't tied to one specific node... indeed, in such a direction we'd begin to blur the line between the federated client-server web application model and peer to peer networks.
That's a ways off though. For now I think ActivityPub brings a lot of benefits to Mastodon (though I'm biased obviously). Still lots of exciting future ahead though!
Why not just use normal build signing of posts? All posts signed by the same private key have the same author even if published on different modes etc. There is finesse for supporting subkeys and revocation and all the rest, but talking with a security consultant will sort out those kind of details.
You could turn the whole thing on its head, have users sign their messages and broadcast them to anyone; a direct message would be encrypted to the expected recipients. Now you don't care about the particularities of an instance or opening an account, becaus all the work is happening on your machine. There is no migration, only transferring your database from a computer to another.
This is basically what secure scuttlebutt is doing:
- Using it with salt and water makes a kind of chicken broth'y flavor. - Butter or margerine on toast, then sprinkle nutritional yeast on top. Doesn't sound like it'll be good but a friend introduced this to me and it's one of my favorite snacks. - Add to tomato sauce for a "meat drippings" like flavor. For an easy and cheap spaghetti bolognese use TVP, nutritional yeast, a dash of tarmari, and your usual tomatoes and oregano and basil. - Of course, a lot of people use it as fake cheese... you can make a "nacho cheese" type flavor out of it easily
Tons more uses.
