Hello,
I have great respect for this man, even though I never met him.
His project helped me spur on the configuration of my own tc-cake
interfaces on my linux boxes and have since enabled an awesome
experience in enjoying the online world.
Farewell Dave.

Hello to all,
We’re devastated to announce that Dave Täht has passed away. <https://
libreqos.io/2025/04/01/in-loving-memory-of-dave/>
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!
