valDict

A very simple computer readable online dictionary based entirely off of data from Wiktionary that uses data made with Wiktextract.

valDict can be served using your choice of web server.

Building

Firstly, you need the "large_dir" option enabled in your filesystem and "dir_index" will also help speed things up, they can be enabled with

tune2fs -O large_dir /dev/DEVICE
tune2fs -O dir_index /dev/DEVICE

#DEVICE can be found with lsblk

IN ADDITION, you need like... ALOT of Inodes like 10 million, i highly recommend making a DEDICATED ext4 partition JUST FOR this dictionary that has an outrageous inode count (remember to set the large_dir and dir_index in the new fs)

personally i recommend a 40-45GB that is 45,000,000,000 bytes / 10,000,000 goal inodes = 4,500 bytes per inode (waow that is crazy) this is a decently efficent way to patition the format while still leaving a very decent amount of space left for extra files, or whatever future expansion may be required making a filesystem like this would probably require first making an ext4 partition with fdisk, then using mkfs.ext4 -i 3200 to achieve the 3200 bytes per inode ratio...

building valDict is very easy, just clone the repo and run: ./downloadDict.sh then run ./cleanbuild.sh (beware, building takes a LONGGGG time... (has to write 20gb~ worth of files)) RUN AT OWN RISK BE CAREFUL CAREFUL CAREFUL
