Lulu is expensive for Print on Demand, what are other options?

Right now I am using Lulu for print on demand of 8.5"x8.5" softcover premium color saddle stich heavyweight 28 page books. The cost per unit, for individual 1 unit PoD is too high.

What other options exist other than Lulu? It must have a good API to automate order taking as well as ship to customer.

Thanks!

Edit: If anybody works at Lulu, I do good qty, I would stay for a discounted rate + improved print/ship options.

Proxmox Win11 VM can't run Android emulation as its suuuuper slow. Help!

Hey all,

I have a Proxmox 9x system on an AMD Ryzen 9900x with a Windows 11 VM. I have installed Android Studio on that VM with the goal of emulating various Android phones as part of my CI/CD pipeline.

The problem is that the Android OS takes 20 minutes to boot and has like 2 frame per 120 seconds. It is basically unusable. Something about nested virtualization completely breaks.

I have AMD nested virtulization enabled on the PVE server, I have tried with HyperV installed/not installed, disabled/enabled, as well as Windows defender isolated memory disabled, all combinations of all I can see and it still won't run right. I even mapped a Nvidia RTX 5070ti, installed drivers got it working in the Win11 VM and nothing changed, it still doesn't work. I tested on a Intel Proxmox host, it still doesn't work.

But if I do this on a baremetal Win11 system on identical hardware it works fine.

Any idea how to get this working correctly?

Thanks.

What is the best way to spin up an Android OS on Promox (2026 edition)?

So what is the current best way to spin up a modern Android OS on Proxmox?

I've seen some Android 9 / super old methods, but I am really hoping something modern exists.

Thanks!

Roocode has wrong context when using ChatGPT Plus subscription

Hello,

The latest Roocode does not have the correct context size for ChatGPT Pro subscription when using GPT5.5.

The normal API gpt5.5 has 1M context, however, the ChatGPT Pro subscription has a 270k context limit.

The issue is Roocode does not differentiate between the ChatGPT API and the ChatGPT subscription, thus causing it to fail once you hit the 270k context window.

Using latest/last Roocode release.

Thanks

I just now see that there has been some transitions! Is there a TLDR somewhere? Has everybody transitioned or has /u/hannesrudolph stayed with Zoo code?

Also, does the latest Roocode support GPT 5.5-codex or does Zoocode support it?

Thanks!
