It is exactly the same issue as in [Issue with non 'username' defined · Issue #2373 · nodejs/node-gyp · GitHub](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2373) and [os.userInfo throws if no username in docker container · Issue #25714 · nodejs/node · GitHub](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/25714)

By using a random user id, node complains at the time of loading `os` system-related utility methods and properties.

Just to confirm, old way will be totally deprecated/removed, right?
