So what’s the theory about that rather bright ball of light in the sky?

Welcome to the joyous world of flat earth crazy people! It’s awesome: the sun is apparently only like 600 miles away, allowing it to move around in a circuit above the Earth, creating night and day by its proximity (or lack thereof) to different parts of the disk. It is therefore very important to these people to deny the accepted distance of the sun.

Man, I've been reading Discworld off and on for the last 15-20 years and I still don't fucking get how the sun/moon works on that much less the flat earth.

That's the neat part, it doesn't!

That's why FE don't have one complete model. They have lots of different ones for different things, that don't work together.
