Yes, their posts were about Arch Linux.
The second link you gave is probably malware!
Vanced died after they got a cease and desist from YouTube. You might want to recommend https://revanced.app/ instead, which patches the YouTube APK directly on your phone instead of distributing an APK with modified bytecode (which is the given “reason” YouTube killed Vanced)
ReVanced also has patches to remove ads/crack features for other apps as well, which is an added bonus. They’re also open-source
I don’t know the specifics behind why the limit is 72 bytes, but that might be slightly tricky. My understanding of bcrypt is that it generates 2^salt different possible hashes for the same password, and when you want to test an input you have to hash the password 2^salt times to see if any match. So computation times would get very big if you’re combining hashes
