.....does anyone know what's inside it?

Just look back at previous damage and you'll see why I question it.

.....and want the equipment inside to still be running.
All I see is a single black cylinder showing in the photo under one end of the container, and some exposed pipes that don't look particularly new, and were probably already there to carry water away from the air handlers inside. The black cylinder looks like an hydraulic jack, presumably duplicated under the other end, and definitely not seaworthy.They might just be working on the condensation plumbing. Since those pipes aren't flush with the bottom of the container, there must be openings for them in the deck below.
Looks like the older shorter legs for one container are piled up in the center, for instance.
They aren't cylinders, don't appear to be hydraulic jacks, and if metal beams about the size of a person aren't seaworthy I don't know what is. The conduit/etc that people are talking about are mounted to them, not what you see running along the bottom of the container.
Ok thanks, I was looking at Friday's photo Marek reposted, which only made one of the beam legs visible. The beams do look strong, but the small tops the container is resting on do not.

The simple explanation is that this is a temporary raising, and they needed access to the deck underneath.

If you look closely in the attachment, you can see that they only contact each other in the corners.I'll believe the evidence that kind of stacking can be secure, but the container in question is top heavy, unlike the Falcon first stage. There are two air handlers hanging from the ceiling inside, estimated by a HVAC professional to each be capable of 4 tons of cooling. However I'm only guessing those would far outweigh the servers, monitors, and desk below.
Barges don't have pilots...
