I'd like to bump this issue.

Ubuntu 24.04, which was released only a couple of days ago, ships with
nodejs 18.19, which:

1. has only a year of maintenance support left:
https://nodejs.org/en/about/previous-releases

2. does not include the updated timezone information for Kazakhstan
(where I am from) and (afaik) Palestine:

% TZ=Asia/Almaty node <<<'console.log(new Date().toTimeString())'
13:10:33 GMT+0600 (East Kazakhstan Time)

Which should actually print:

% TZ=Asia/Almaty node <<<'console.log(new Date().toTimeString())'
12:10:21 GMT+0500 (West Kazakhstan Time)

The timezone change happened two months ago. The next minor version —
18.20 — was released a month ago and does include the updated tzdata.

Sadly, it's been this way for as long as I can remember, so it's
unlikely to change.
