It’s “its”, not “it’s”, unless you mean “it is”, in which case it is “it’s “.

Yes

Oh, is Wayland working now?

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).

My parents migrated to Australia but only spoke German at home, so that’s what I learned. When I started school, they discovered their mistake, and I had to learn English. I remember my father saying for many years, “This is Australia, we speak English in this country”, my younger sister and I weren’t allowed to speak German at home, so I forgot a lot of it. In high school, we had to learn French or German, so it was natural to learn German. So German is both my first and my third language.

When I started school, about six years old.

I’m immune compromised. I wear an N95 mask whenever I go out. Sometimes to change things up, I’ll draw a smiley (or other) mouth on it with felt tip markers. Just need to work out how to disguise everything above the mask in a way that doesn’t look like a deliberate disguise.
