I want to make use of node-red-contrib-discord-advanced and therefore upgraded to Node 16 from 14 (minimum requirement). Now, when trying to install the module or updating another module I get the following error:

According to its page on npm, the module boom is deprecated and has been replaced by @hapi/boom which is actively maintained.
In that situation, I'd certainly be looking to update the module. Node 0.8 has not been supported for a very long time and really should not be used.
How you migrate from boom to @hapi/boom will depend very much on how/why you have that module installed. If it is something you are using directly, then you'll need to migrate your code to use the new module.
If it is a module installed because it is a dependency of something else, you'll need to look at what updates are available.
If you aren't sure, then run npm list boom in ~/.node-red/ to see where it is in the dependency tree.
Thank you Nick for the quick response. I found the culprit in node-red-contrib-dns@0.0.4, figured out I don't really need it and uninstalled it. I can now use my Discord bot to receive home automation commands.
