Comment on Felix "fx" Lindner has died

Comments

Very sad news to hear. People of his caliber are sorely needed in the community. My condolences to everyone close to fefe.

Fefe is a different person

Yes, I mistyped, Freudian slip. And I can't edit or delete anymore. I'm terribly sorry.

Came here to ask the same question / conclusion.

It was thin to find out the differences between the two.

Though, FeFe also suffered some health issues lately, IIRC?

Yeah, he had a stroke. Not many updates, unfortunately.

Aside from feeling sad that he had a stroke, I've been wondering how the infrastructure for his blog keeled over so fast.

The blog is fine, it just looks like he didn't foresee that there would be a month where wouldn't post anything, so the navigation links break down. If you go to the last month he posted in, everything works as usual: http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202505

There was actually a one-time post in December as well http://blog.fefe.de/?mon=202512

Oh, just yesterday it failed to load at all!

I think the server works, but the ssl cert timed out.

Fefe doesn't capitalise the 2nd F in his name btw.
