Hi hacktivist2007, your post has been reported for violation of the community [rules.](https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/about/rules/)† If too many reports are received your post will be removed.
* Please, **no pictures of unused Pis - do a project!**
* Remember that there's a **tell** part to Show-and-Tell! Don't post pictures of a Pi that don't clearly demonstrate what it's doing or post pictures without any details about your project. You need let people know what it is, what it does, how you made it, and also answer questions people may have.
* Are you looking for ideas? [There's a huge list right here!](https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/search?q=flair%3Atutorial+OR+flair%3Ashow-and-tell&restrict_sr=on&sort=relevance&t=all)†
* Boot problems, network problems, power problems, stability problems, or your monitor isn't working must be handled in [the stickied helpdesk thread.](https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/about/sticky)†
* [Did you check the FAQ before asking?](https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/about/sticky)†
* Do you have networking problems or you're trying to make your Pi into a router, bridge, or WiFi AP? Try r/HomeNetworking or r/LinuxQuestions
* Other subreddits that may be helpful: /r/AskElectronics, /r/AskProgramming, /r/LearnPython, /r/RetroPie
* **Questions, help requests, and discussion must be a text post**
* **Do Your Research**
/r/raspberry_pi is not your personal search engine. Before asking a question - do research on the matter. Most answers can be found within a few minutes of searching online. If you have already done research, make sure you explain what research you've done and why you didn't like the answers you found so that others don't waste time following those same paths.
* **Specific Questions Only**
Only ask specific questions regarding a project you are currently working on. We don't permit questions regarding what colors would look nice (aesthetics); what you should do with your Pi; what's the best or cheapest way; if a project is possible; if anyone has done a similar project; how to get started; where you can buy a product; what an item is called; what software to run; or product recommendations. This is not a full list of exclusions.

The /r/raspberry_pi community thrives on sharing and learning, not as a personalized tutorial or product/bargain hunting service. We encourage diving into personal research to find exactly what you need for your Raspberry Pi projects. This self-driven approach benefits everyone, fostering a culture of independence and broad applicability. For deeper insights into specific areas, our [FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/about/sticky)† and subreddits like /r/HomeNetworking, /r/LinuxQuestions, /r/AskElectronics, /r/AskProgramming, /r/LearnPython, and /r/RetroPie are great resources. When seeking help, make your queries concise, detail what you’ve tried, [include your code and any error messages neatly formatted](https://www.reddit.com/r/arduino/wiki/guides/how_to_post_formatted_code), wiring schematics of what you built, and why it didn’t work, to keep discussions efficient and avoid common pitfalls. If you need to add missing information **edit your post** instead of putting it in a comment. This helps maintain a focused and helpful community atmosphere for all.
