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.</div>

<div>Very sorry to learn of Dave's passing, it's a sad time for us all.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Rest in peace Dave.</div>

devastated to announce that Dave Täht has passed away.</a></div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">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.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">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.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">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.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">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.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">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.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><b>PS: </b>Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our routers and...in production!</div>
