- down quark (d): neg. quark, charge –⅓
- electron (e): neg. lepton, charge –1
- electron neutrino (ve): charge 0
Column 2: gen II fermions
- charm quark (c): pos. quark, charge +⅔
- strange quark (s): neg. quark, charge –⅓
- muon (μ): neg. lepton, charge –1

Table 2: nucleons
- composite particles
- nucleons
- p⁺ proton: 2 up quarks + 1 down quark, charge +1
- n⁰ neutron: 1 up quark + 2 down quarks, charge 0

Table 3: example atoms from particles, header row: particles, atom, name
- p⁺ = ¹₁H₁⁺ = H⁺ hydrogen-1 cation (proton)
- p⁺ e⁻ = ¹₁H₁⁰ = H hydrogen-1 (protium)
- p⁺ e⁻ e⁻ = ¹₁H₁⁻ = H⁻ hydrogen-1 anion (protide)
- p⁺ n⁰ e⁻ = ²₁H₁⁰ = ²H hydrogen-2 (deuterium)
- p⁺ n⁰ n⁰ e⁻ = ³₁H₁⁰ = ³H hydrogen-3 (tririum) ☢
- p⁺ p⁺ n⁰ e⁻ e⁻ = ³₂He₁⁰ = ³He helium-3
- p⁺ p⁺ n⁰ n⁰ e⁻ = ⁴₂He₁⁺ = ⁴He helium-4 cation

We have to solve the money problem!

On the Fireside Fedi interview with Jerry ( the admin of Infosec.Exchange Mastodon instance ) a scary truth was suddenly revealed ( on 34:11 ): Just to keep the instance up and running he needs to spend up to $5000 a month, pretty much out of his pocket. Donations to the instance barely cover any of that. And if he will ask people to pay to use it, they will, rightfully so, switch to a different instance.

Pixel art style image with a header and a table.

Header:
• Heading: Hexagon Tiles.
• Public domain mark.
• Small text: public domain.

Table:
• Header row: no link, link color, link all.
• A 3×4 table of shapes each composed of red, green and blue hexagons and various rectangular shapes on top of them. Rightmost (link all) column shows a large hexagon, a large triangle, a large square and a rotated square that are each built by linking the rectangular shapes on top of the hexagons.

Transformations of a 4×4 pixel grid to various triangle-, quad- and hexagon-based grids.
