<a href="../M/muggle.html"><i class="glossterm">muggle</i></a>. Implies both ignorance and a certain amount
of willingness to learn, but does not necessarily imply as little
experience or short exposure time as <a href="../N/newbie.html"><i class="glossterm">newbie</i></a> and is
not as derogatory as <a href="../L/luser.html"><i class="glossterm">luser</i></a>. Both a novice user and
someone using a system for a long time without any understanding of the
internals can be referred to as chainiks. Very widespread term in Russian
hackish, often used in an English context by Russian-speaking hackers
esp. in Israel (e.g. &#8220;<span class="quote">Our new colleague is a complete
chainik</span>&#8221;). FidoNet discussion groups often had a
&#8220;<span class="quote">chainik</span>&#8221; subsection for newbies and, well, old chainiks (eg.
su.asm.chainik, ru.linux.chainik, ru.html.chainik). Public projects often
have a chainik mailing list to keep the chainiks off the developers' and
experienced users' discussions. Today, the word is slowly slipping into
mainstream Russian due to the Russian translation of the popular
yellow-black covered &#8220;<span class="quote">foobar for dummies</span>&#8221; series, which
(correctly) uses &#8220;<span class="quote">chainik</span>&#8221; for &#8220;<span class="quote">dummy</span>&#8221;, but its
frequent (though not excessive) use is still characteristic
hacker-speak.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="chain.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="channel.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">chain </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> channel</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
