Fefe is a different person

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?

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

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

Sad news. I wonder if his projects (e.g. dietlibc) will continue development or not...

fefe = Felix von Leitner fx = Felix Lindner Please don't mix up the names and nicknames. Both are highly renowned security experts.

Oh oops, my apologies :(
