<p>Dave, assuming that there's WiFi where you are (I guess there's
at least some sort of Cloud service), I guess you're connected by
now and able to read this. We're all well aware here that you
haven't been mercilessly tail dropped but just forwarded to a
better place via a priority queue. May your queue sojourn time at
the Pearly Gates be low, and may you get a bit of quiet time among
the stars above to string your guitar before someone turns up in a
Starship of sorts to seek more of your sage advice! Oh, and if you
can get that return path working ... let us know ... you're being
sadly missed here already. <br>

<div>Hello to all,</div>

Dave Täht has passed away.</a><br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

<div><b>PS: </b>Dave is forever in our hearts and souls, in our
routers and...in production!</div>
