Add a 10R in serie resistor (or any known value) and use senoid wave with any known frequency value. You can use your own oscilloscope to generate the signal. Write down the values and click on “Calculate”.
Yamaha CVP-87A Repair. The full saga.
Epilogue: Yamaha CVP-87A Resurrection: A 5-Year war of a very stubborn broken board against a much more stubborn owner. Back in 2020, a broken Yamaha CVP-87A Clavinova landed on my bench. Beautiful instrument, but completely dead — no lights, no sound, nothing. I’m not going to tell the full history of this piano so I won’t […]
ESXI Ultra-Annoying Extra-Low Datastores Transfer Rates workaround!
Just when I’m finally ditching ESXi because I absolutely hate some of its stupid limitations, I accidentally stumble on a workaround for one of its most annoying issues. Anyone running a home lab or production ESXi with tons of data in the datastore knows how unbearable it is waiting to get data out. Transfer speeds […]

Gbps to MB/s Conversion Table
Wanna know how many Megabytes per second (MB/s) you get from Gigabits per second (Gbps)? Here’s the deal: 1 Gbps equals 125 MB/s. That’s because 1 Gbps = 1000 Mbps, and since 1 byte is 8 bits, you just divide by 8. Simple! 1 Megabyte/sec = 1 MB/s = (8 × Gigabit/sec)÷1000 = 8/1000 Gbps1 Gigabit/sec = 1Gbps = 125 […]
Useful linux commands
More like a reminder. I’m gonna try to add new commands to avoid every time I forget some, the need to search for them endlessly. To search some binary or hex pattern inside a file: To delete some bytes from a file, or in the case, the exact amount of bits from those hex patterns […]
