Convert JSON to YAML

Valid JSON is a subset of YAML; no transformation is necessary; however, YAML has many syntax features that are not valid JSON, so you can't do the reverse as easily.

Useful to do Google+ Hangouts, and if the internet connection fails, there is still the recorded backup on the computer.

Increase SCT of external USB disk enclosure to one hour.

So I had this 2TB Seagate external disk/USB enclosure which by default would spin-down its internal drive (it enters a standby mode) after four minutes of inactivity.. Spinning-up the inactive drive was an annoying delay when accessing files and also it severely interfered with NFS.. SCT stands for "Standby Condition Timer".

To completely disable SCT:

sdparm --clear STANDBY -6 /dev/sdb

To return to original (default) SCT settings:

sdparm -D -p 0x1a -6 /dev/sdb

To verify the settings (before and after):

sdparm -a /dev/sdb

No need for vendor-provided MSWIN tools, etc.
