I have not updated cli.donharper.org - forget the GUI in a very long time, and I did have some nice tricks and tips there, so I decided to bring it over here.

Edit 2020-04-07: I merged the content of cli.donharper.org into my main site a long time ago.

Enjoy.

Well, as I [mentioned before <tale-of-install>]{role=“doc”}, I was trying to install OpenBSD. Well, my main workstation died, so I have to re-purposed the OpenBSD box as my workstation running ArchLinux. I am hunting for a suitable replacement.

Oh, and Happy New Year!

I needed to write an iso image to a USB key, and the typical way is with just dd(8), but I wanted a progress bar. A quick google later, and I get:

pv -tpreb isoname | sudo dd of=/dev/sdd bs=1024

Which will write the iso image to the USB stick sdd, and give me a progress bar, tell me how fast it is writing, and give me an eta when finished. Perfect.
