Host.poke uses datetime.now() which is local time.

Check if it shouldn't rather be datetime.utcnow() which is utc.

the local time on the server is usually the wrong thing and irrelevant for users in other timezones, so server apps should use utc internally usually.

not sure how django and the other code processes this value though, so check first.
