fix: Fix blog post timestamps
For some the timestamp got messed up. Now they should be restored properly as well the `locustfile.py` pointing to the right endpoints.

-Every time that I do a clean install on my machine it takes a few hours
-till I get to point where I was before formatting it, install all
-packages, select themes, icons, fonts, install IDEs, extensions and so
-on. After doing it a few times I came to the conclusion that I would
-save time by spending time automating this chore, and as a result, I
-could tinker a little more with my system and not worry about spending a
-weekend re-installing everything (which have happened more time that
- I\'d like to remember).
-
-So after a few attempts using python and bash I ended with many files
-and keep everything organized and concise turned out to be more tedious
-than the setup itself. So there comes
-[Ansible](https://www.ansible.com/). It is an enterprise-graded software
-used to automate tasks. It has A LOT OF features and it can be really
-helpful if you\'re a sysadmin but for now we\'re going to focus on
-[Ansible
-Pull](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_intro.html#ansible-pull)
-and
-[Playbooks](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks.html).
-As better described:
-
-> \[Ansible-Pull\] is used to up a remote copy of ansible on each
-> managed node, each set to run via cron and update playbook source via
-> a source repository. This inverts the default push architecture of
-> Ansible into a pull architecture, which has near-limitless scaling
-> potential.
->
-> Playbooks are Ansible's configuration, deployment, and orchestration
-> language. They can describe a policy you want your remote systems to
-> enforce, or a set of steps in a general IT process.
->
-> [source](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/cli/ansible-pull.html)
-
-The goal is to pull and run a playbook remotely using a git repository.
-The playbook will describe the tasks needed to setup our machine from
-scratch.
-
-But first lets tinker a bit a with playbooks locally with
-`ansible-playbook`, to do so we need to add `localhost` to ansible\'s
-hosts list. Add it to `/etc/ansible/hosts`:
-
-``` service
-[all]
-localhost
-```
-
-As an experiment we\'re going to write a asks to install vim. Currently,
- I\'m using [Fedora](https://getfedora.org/) thus we going to use [dnf
- modeule](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/dnf_module.html)
- to install packages, but if you\'re using another distribution look for
- a equivalent module like [apt
- module](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/apt_module.html)
- for [Ubuntu](https://ubuntu.com/).
-
- The playbook to install is quite simple:
-
- ``` yaml
-# main.yaml
- - hosts: all
- tasks:
- - name: install vim
- dnf:
-name: vim
-state: latest
-```
-
-`hosts:` is required and it has to match our hosts otherwise the
-playbook won\'t run.
-
-`tasks:` is the list of tasks that the playbook will perform, in this
-case will be `dnf install vim`.
-
-To run a playbook use the command `ansible-playbook` commando to run
-`main.yml` direct from disk, do to so just run the following command:
-
-
-``` bash
-sudo ansible-playbook --connection=local main.yml
-```
-
-After a few seconds, vim will be installed on your machine.
-
-``` bash
-PLAY [all] *************************************************************
-
-TASK [Gathering Facts] *************************************************
-ok: [localhost]
-
-TASK [install vim] *****************************************************
-ok: [localhost]
-
-PLAY RECAP *************************************************************
-localhost : ok=2 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0
-```
-
-This is the first step, next part we shall create a more complex
-playbook and setup repository to run it remotely using `ansible-pull`.
