Yes, I’m using it vertically polarized. The fishing pole allows me to put the antenna away from the building through the window to have a better reception. The result is like a T rotated 90 degrees. If I want to change the polarization I only have to rotate the fishing pole. But I’m only using FM and everybody else is using vertically polarization.

Yes, any antenna is better than no antenna at all. But I’ve been struggling to find a solution for my qth. Almost everyone assumes that you have a balcony to put the antenna and I didn’t have one. So hopefully this could work for others.

Good bot

I’ve been trying to use it since 2 months, it depends on what you are looking for, sometimes I like the results more than the google ones but the index is smaller than the google one. They know it and at the bottom the offer links to ecosia, startpage and others. If you don’t like the result you can clikc on those links and you will see the same search but from those search engines.

Meanwhile, if you use a real alternative search engine, one that builds his own index: https://www.mojeek.com/search?q=newpipe

Lemmy instance requieres at minimun 150mb of RAM, the CPU usage is minimum. Don’t expect it to scale well to a lot of users, but it should work for a few users. More info here: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html:
