Should `miette` make diagnostic codes (myapp::api::connection_error, etc) optional? There's a lot of complications right now as I copy/rewrite stuff to make it easier to move from anyhow/eyre, and I feel like I'm just being stubborn about error codes? Does enforcement add value?

Looks like IKEA discontinued the LED cabinet lights that actually produced a decent quality light 😦

I tried getting the strip version of the same series (LEDBERG) but it's a totally different color and much weaker than the discontinued spot lights

Did you know that USB 3.0 causes interference with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi?
