In Australia, some people of European and/or North American backgrounds celebrate Christmas in July so that they can have Christmas when it’s cold and miserable, just like where they came from. I was wondering if people with Australian backgrounds do the opposite so that they can have a proper hot Christmas like they’re used to having at home.

why does the author rely on `pv` when `dd` has a status flag to display its progress already

Not all versions of `dd` support the status argument. I think it’s particular to GNU. If you’re working in a shop that runs multiple versions of Linux as well as multiple versions of proprietary UNIX then you tend to use the command that works everywhere rather than remember the exceptions for each. (I worked in a place that ran all of RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu, AIX, Solaris, and SCO UNIX).

I thought that was just me, I had no idea it was common.
