(Or pipe to sudo dd of=/dev/disk/... if that's better for you,
permissionwise.)
If pv can't figure out the size of the image file, add "-s 4G".
I haven't tried bar, but from the description it looks very similar to
pv. As far as I care, both are welcome in Debian, but sometimes it is
sensible to ask if duplicate tools to do the same thing are a good idea.
