Validating data on input is just checking for "known badness", and is pretty ineffective. If you've got specific structure requirements for the data you store, parse it into that structure.

I think this works well if you think about sampling traces not logs . Basically, every log message should be attached to a trace. Then, you might choose to throw away the trace data based on criteria, e.g. throw away 98% of "success

What benefits does port knocking give over and above a simple VPN? They're both additional layers of authentication, except a VPN seems much more rigorous and brings potentially other benefits. In a world where tailscale etc. have made

They're only "entirely useless" if you're willing to give up at the first hurdle. Meanwhile, in the real world, the rest of us use nat64 proxies, take advantage of git's decentralised model etc. etc.

You can sort of convolute a reason why 401 Unauthorized is valid, based on the fact that most systems which control access to resources have a (often implicit) policy that users for whom the identity is not known are not allowed to access a
