Removing the deprecation warnings

[lachesis]

If you want to run the old scripts (e.g. to install Node 14 on Ubuntu 22.04, which has no corresponding deb package in the new process), you can disable the deprecation warnings that add ~100 seconds with the following ugly hack:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | grep -v '^[a-z]*_deprecation_warning$' | bash -

Our docker command is now:

RUN curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | grep -v '^[a-z]*_deprecation_warning$' | bash - \
  && apt-get update && apt-get install -y nodejs \
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
  && apt-get clean

Today i just follow the suggest script, to skip deprecation warning. but my logs file become un-readable. And i just modify your suggestion script into more simple like this.

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_14.x | grep -v 'sleep' | bash -

The main problem is waiting 60+20+20 = 100s, before the script running. I think just skip the sleep xx and left the rest do their job. 😆

Guys what stop you from updating to the latests versions?
Node18 and Node20

The company where i work, still use Legacy System that required v14 to run. If we talk about what stop (me), that was the answer. But people never care there is "Cobol Language" still exists from 1960, and used around the world. 😆

Seriously if you remove the old version installer, people who need the specific version, will take the source and dirty build from source, for fulfilled their need on their business.

@cikaldev this is completely understandable that's the reason why we not remove those scripts.
In the other hand we have those waits and warnings because we want the people know they're using deprecated versions of Nodejs which is risky due to unpatched vulns.
I will think how to improve those warning and will decrease the sleep time.
