This commit fixes a typo in the ephemeral container file system (FS) section of the Docker documentation. The typo was in the description of what happens to data stored in the ephemeral FS when a container is stopped or removed. The correction clarifies that data is lost when the container is stopped and removed, rather than using the incorrect "or" instead of "and".

Additionally, there was a conflict in information between lines 3 and 9 of the document, where "stopped (and) removed" was used in line 3 and "stopped (or) removed" was used in line 9. This conflict was resolved by making both instances consistent with "stopped and removed". Overall, these changes help ensure accuracy and clarity in the documentation regarding data persistence in Docker containers.

This commit fixes a grammatical error in the react.md file related to Server Components in React. The error was corrected from "Server Components in allow developers to write components" to "Server Components allows developers to write components". Server Components enable developers to write components that render on the server instead of the client, resulting in a smaller bundle size and faster loads. They can integrate seamlessly with client components and fetch data directly from the backend without the need for an API layer, improving performance and developer experience.

The changes made in this commit include modifying the react.md file to correct the grammatical error and updating the description of Server Components in React. The correction ensures that the information provided is accurate and clear for developers. Co-authored by Kamran Ahmed, this commit improves the documentation by fixing a minor mistake in the explanation of Server Components in React.

This commit adds validation to the username input field in the UpdateProfile component.
