Thanks, that’s what I was going for!
How would one locate their node’s unique IP or Onion address?

You can use the local IP of the machine running Bitcoin core + Electrum (Electrs), which we call a Bircoin node. It works when you are at home. If you need acces outside your home you can VPN to your home using Wireguard, Tailscale or OpenVPN.
With Tailscale you can even tunnel only to your Bitcoin node machine without access to the rest of your network, depending on what you are looking for and which security level you accept.
Thanks! I see there’s much for me to learn here (that’s a good thing) 🫡
Do you know how a wallet like sparrow is able to “find” a node like Seth’s? Ie does it use one of the methods you listed above, just under the hood, or is there a different way it comnects?
I don't know what is Seth's, sorry.
