I met Dave only recently, and never in person, but his passing saddens me. He
taught me about buffer bloat, etc., but I am sad because he was a good person —
unselfish, caring, open, and funny. I'll miss him.

Subject: Re: [Starlink] [Bloat] In loving memory of Dave Täht <3
Very sorry to learn of Dave's passing, it's a sad time for us all.
I wasn't lucky enough to know Dave very well, so it's been a privilege to read
everyone's stories about him, and I hope others who have some will share as
well what he meant to them.
I wish those in contact with his family will let them know just how many lives
he's touched over the years, and how much we will all miss him.
Rest in peace Dave.
Kind Regards
Nils

Hello to all,
We’re devastated to announce that Dave Täht has passed
away.<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://libreqos.io/2025/04/01/in-loving-memory-of-dave/__;!!P7nkOOY!tjOQAVTyhn-AeKG39jwTPtuisnB161uun2FpoZCNfMIsFi7qOeWTxiZWUfZGUIpncsQQNROcLEsw18snxWK9qbHp3g$>
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!
