This puts the output of `dd` into a file, which is then read and made into a webpage every second. It's just a [bodged](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIFE7h3m40U)-together mess and it's super CPU-heavy, but it works*

\* Disclaimer: No idea if this works, I'm from the past where the program wasn't done yet.
