Pizza-1 is the primary VPS running privacy frontends for Europe and Africa, as well as our fallback server for anything mission-critical

Origins

The internal discussion that lead to the naming of the VPS as Pizza-1.
The internal discussion that lead to the naming of the VPS as Pizza-1.

Pizza-1 was initially a virtual server we bought from BuyVM on July 8, 2022, after having issues with the previous Hebergnity VPS.

It was named Pizza-1 due to the virtual server being sold as a "KVM Slice".

Later, in November 2023, we moved to Nonic, a British company and subsidiary of Oxide.Host, with servers in the Netherlands. 

This was because we couldn't scale up the VPS on BuyVM in a way that was financially sustainable for us.

However, due to Nonic's really weird rules regarding frivolous DMCA complaints, we moved to the German service provider, Avoro.

Purpose

Pizza-1 is regarded as the most reliable server in Project Segfault, and therefore takes on the mission-critical task of running the master authoritative DNS server (ns1.projectsegfau.lt) using Knot-DNS. It also runs the Privacy Frontends for EU region.
