PostgreSQL, of course, has no such ridiculous limits.

Whether a specific application running on top of PostgreSQL would have
a limitation like that, is of course a different question - that might
certainly be possible, even though the limit mentioned is a really
weird number.

I find it really hard to parse the text of that post to even
understand what they mean, but it's rather obviously filled with other
completely incorrect technical statements, so I wouldn't pay any
attention to this one in particular. (e.g. since when did you need
port 25 to download an email attachment? and suddenly they mention
oracle metasploits, which obviously wouldn't work on postgres)
