Android without Google - that sounds like Alster without beer or Windows without a blue screen. Anyone who buys a great new mobile phone with Android also gets Google's apps included without being asked. This convenience comes at a high price: the user pays with their data, and the constant exchange of data with Google's servers also reduces battery life. But it also works without a Google account and Play Store. If you're not afraid of many hours of fiddling and - depending on the smartphone manufacturer - risking the warranty, you'll get a smartphone free of proprietary apps and a Google account with a few losses.
AOSP only contains the open source code of Android
To take back the title of this article: Android without Google does not exist. Even the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) would not be possible without Google's source code. However, AOSP "only" contains the open source code for the software basis of Android. It is therefore not only the basis for alternative Android distributions such as LineageOS (formerly: CyanogenMod) or Paranoid, but also the basis for the "Android without Google" recommended here.
Of course, a custom ROM based on AOSP must first exist for the smartphone that is to be freed from Google. Custom ROMs are not allowed to pre-install Google apps for licensing reasons. Google Apps, or GApps for short, are proprietary software from Google.

On 31 December 2018, all support for PHP 5.6 ended and support for PHP 7.0 ended on 3 December 2018 - but many websites are still using these PHP versions, which are no longer supported. Experts warn of serious security risks.
Official security support for PHP 5.6.x ends on 31 December 2018 and security support for PHP 7.0.x ends on 3 December 2018. This is a major problem, as many websites are still using PHP version 5.6, which was released in August 2014 and will no longer receive security patches in the future. The same applies to the PHP 7.0.x branch released on 3 December 2015. According to ZDNet, around 62 per cent of all websites are still using PHP 5.6.x. Hundreds of millions of pages are exposed to "serious security risks" - a very big problem for the PHP ecosystem, an expert told ZDNet.

The prospect of Joomla 4 should raise your awareness of the need to upgrade to PHP 7.3 in your hosting environment.
Joomla 4 requires PHP 7.1 as a minimum requirement, but this version will no longer receive security updates from 01.12.2019. Most hosting providers have been offering PHP 7.2 and PHP 7.3 in their packages for a long time and it should be fairly easy to change your PHP version in the control centre of your hosting.
There are four good reasons why you should not put off upgrading PHP.
PHP 7.3 is better
Of course, it's easy to say, but PHP 7.3 actually means a performance boost that delivers your website more than twice as fast (compared to PHP 5.6) while using more than 50% less memory. Of course, PHP 7.3 is also more secure and offers many more options for developers too.

In connection with the #NoHacked initiative, Google published the results of a study on website security in March 2017.
The number of successful website hacks in 2016 increased by over 32% compared to 2015.
Google blames this on two developments: on the one hand, hackers are becoming more active and aggressive, and on the other hand, there are more and more insecure websites (content management systems and shop systems) on the internet.

The Google browser Chrome warns you when you open an unencrypted website that it is not secure. This applies to pages that are opened via the http transmission protocol without an SSL security certificate and offer the possibility of collecting sensitive data.
You can recognise this by the "i" symbol in the URL bar. Since the release of Google Chrome browser version 56 in January 2017, the information "not secure" also appears if an unencrypted page requests sensitive data such as credit card details or passwords.
Google writes in its blog that this procedure may be further tightened to ensure user security.
