So, yeah, running `dd` with no `bs` tuning is _much_ slower than redirecting through `pv`.
Twenty-minute walk from lunch.
Saw three trees with buds bursting into leaves.
We're teetering on the edge of spring.
Heard a crow.
Selecting different outputs on the same sound/audio/sink device:
```
$ sudo -u theuser -H pacmd list | grep 'output:'
$ sudo -u theuser -H pactl set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo
```
Also remember, with HDMI audio, sound won't play when the monitor is asleep.
Great to be getting these desktops into the hands of users after so many delays.
