I read the whole article, it was well written and fascinating.

But for those who don't read to the end, you will miss out on quite cool link that OP posted -> https://github.com/knadh/dictmaker (He wrote an OS project that runs all the infrastructure for your very own dictionary website.)

this is great. Do we know other open source dictionaries? I know about https://www.dicts.info/ (which itself is compilation of multiple sources, some open sourced by universities, some more shady)

I run a russian-english/russian-german Open Data dictionary, https://openrussian.org
