Sad news day.
Learned so much from Dave about the network about the importance of sharing
ideas, and not to take one self too seriously.
Will miss you my friend...

Dave Täht was a good friend and a mentor to me and so many others. He inspired
me to focus much of my time and effort in the last decade to his vision of a
faster Internet experience for everyone through lower network latency. The
results of Dave’s work are finally coming to fruition, and those he taught will
continue his work transforming how the Internet operates and improving the
lives of countless millions of people worldwide.

Hello to all,
We’re devastated to announce that Dave Täht has passed away.
Dave was an amazing man, helping the world with FQ-CoDel and CAKE, fighting
bufferbloat and trying to make the world a better place. Always willing to
help, and without him – LibreQoS (and the other QoE solutions out there)
wouldn’t exist.
Dave was an inspiration, and we all miss him. We’re reaching out to family and
close friends to see if there’s anything we can do to help.
Dave was an inspiration to us. Dave’s contributions to Linux, FQ-CoDel, and
CAKE improved internet connectivity around the world for millions of people.
Because of him, millions of people now have access to reliable video calls –
and in turn, access to loved ones, healthcare, and community. One of Robert’s
ISP customers is a kind paraplegic woman who lives in a far-flung rural Colonia
around El Paso, Texas. Her reliable access to her doctors through telemedicine,
and to her family through FaceTime, was only made possible because of his
algorithms. There are millions of cases like hers, where Dave’s contributions
have silently enabled human connection and safety. Everything Dave contributed
to the world of technology was free and open source, for the betterment of
humanity.
Dave is the reason that Starlink was able to tackle its latency issues –
enabling a generation of young entrepreneurs across the developing world, such
as these young folks pictured in the Phillipines, to start their own ISPs to
expand internet access to their communities. Dave started work on FQ-CoDel in
part because of his own journey working to expand internet access in Nicaragua,
so we know he saw that his work had come full-circle and helped so many.
We’re incredibly grateful to have Dave as our friend, mentor, and as someone
who continuously inspired us – showing us that we could do better for each
other in the world, and leverage technology to make that happen. He will be
dearly missed.
PS: Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our routers and...in production!
