Description

`Buffer.alloc` exist natively now and for a long time.

- [ ] Update the readme with examples how to use built
- [ ] Update readme and recommend using just plain vanilla `new ArrayBuffer()` or `new Uint8array()` instead that is more cross env friendly
- [ ] Mark the npm package as deprecated (not needed anymore)
- [ ] archive the githup repo?

ppl should stop using a legacy node version that don't get any more updates
