How we are able to pick up a 30 watt or whatever signal from that far away is kinda bonkers

Came here to say this. The correct size and depth bit on a Phillips is a thing of beauty and grace. If you get it the slightest bit wrong (pun yes) God help you and your offspring to 7 generations.

How is this even a thing? Businesses can’t just have open network connections.

You could set up wireguard via stunnel maybe to port 22
