FosseryWeb progress report:
Java Stacks and Queues Cheatsheet now available, so all planned Java cheatsheets are done. Also added optional JS notice to the main cheatsheets page (code block copy buttons already required JS earlier, I just decided to be more transparent about it, even if blocking JS doesn't break the pages).
https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/@beta/cheatsheets/
https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/@beta/cheatsheets/
I also added a Projects page (based on the XDG spec's new Projects directory lol, just kidding), to make my other projects easier to access. Not much there currently, just Burner Todo, and my Joplin config, but I might make a CLI version of Burner Todo later on (I'll learn C++ at university, will be a good practice project), and if I manage to switch from GNOME to a tiling WM, I'll also share my configs (although I'm not really a tinkerer type, I just like to set things up how I want and forget it).
https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/@beta/projects.html
https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/@beta/projects.html
I also did some code refactoring, to unify the code of some page components (header, footer, Related contents section, etc.), for better consistency, readability; and I also shortened the names of some asset directories which were unnecessarily long.

Git 2.54 Released With New Experimental "git history" Command:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Git-2.54-Released
(The `git history reword` command is pretty cool, sometimes I realize that I made a typo in the commit message, or pressed the up key in the terminal a few times because I'm lazy to type the commit command, then forgot to edit the commit message, being able to edit the commit message can be really handy in these cases)
(The split command can also be pretty useful, sometimes I forget to commit the changes after I did a specific thing (implemented a feature, or fixed a bug), because my brain is a few steps ahead, and really wants to do this and that extra thing, and then I can't really write a meaningful but short commit message because the commit does too many things, splitting a commit is actually a pretty good fix for this.)
(Now the only thing missing is the option to merge a commit with its parent, so when I go retard and commit a bug fix, and realize afterwards that it didn't actually fix the bug (or at least not fully), there don't have to be 2 commits with the same "fix xy bug" message lol)
