@davidrevoy member the good old days when IBM AIX truncated any characters over 8 characters when hashing your login password

@sun@shitposter.world @davidrevoy@framapiaf.org didn't linux do this until like a decade or so ago?
@anemone @davidrevoy linux fixed it before aix iirc, aix was doing it in like 2004 or so when I was using it. I don't think they fixed it until the transition from 4 to 5L, which was largely driven by pressure from people switching to Linux. there were some real advantaged to big iron at that time but not for 99.999% of businesses.
