I think this question has been raised a few times here and I'm not aware of any "guide for dummies".

Self-hosting is a wide topic and most of the knowledge is spread across the internet. I'd recommend going to communities like the one you just posted on, reading wikis and learning how to efficiently find information on the web. Most of the knowledge I accumulated over the years come from so many different places so I can't think of a centralized knowledge base.

If you really want to have a handbook you can refer to you'll have to write it yourself with your experience about your specific setup and environment.

TLDR: standing all day long can be worse than sitting, but alternating standing and sitting positions is very good for your health.

Standing desks have never been promoting standing all day imo, the title is pure clickbait. Standing desks are good for your health, just use them correctly.

Not for screwing/unscrewing but in France we have a satire mnemonic for remembering right and left:

The right hand is the one with the thumb pointing left.

Works only if you look at the back of your hands, and obviously not useful. We use it mainly to mock someone who mix right and left

Good read, I think the practical example of enshittification makes it easier to understand.

As I understand the screenshots, it looks like it is simulating a windows XP desktop but not opening actual windows or messing with the system

Is that really a thing? I've seen it in a few job offers but I have trouble understanding how it works...

As I understand it you can take as many days as you want and it works on the company's trust, but that system sounds really toxic to me, isn't it?

Edit: I'm European with almost 7 weeks off a year for context

I'd say more than 10 years now. Computers evolved a lot more between the 90s and the 00s than between the 00s and now, my old laptop is 10 years old and it's still perfectly running linux, and I hope it will keep running for years.

The problem is more hardware obsolescence, it's a Acer so every part of it is slowly falling apart (keyboard, screen, battery) and OEM parts are impossible to find after all those years. I guess this problem is less important for desktop.
