I'm not homeless, though my backpack does have a wraparound pillow attached to it for when I used to camp in Chinese data centers or do chip bringup.
Have a collapsible cot in my trunk too.

I am imagining an actual tent or tarp spun up in the warm air channel and actually camping there.
Great mental image. Thank you!
Edit: Quick try at 1am to visualize it with Dall-E: 
That's cute. It was noisier than you can possibly imagine, but damn if you didn't need that nap while tests ran.
Only was in a very small scale datacenter and it was very noisy but I could probably sleep with a good pair of ANC headphones.
Earplugs, but also you just get used to it as white noise.
But yeah, loud as hell.
Remember in the old Internet days there was that programmer that designed his own sleep coffin so he could take naps in his cubicle?
ELI5: Why would you ever report a homeless person?
Because they shouldn't be in a server room. There are extremely expensive, very sensitive components in there. You can damage millions of dollars worth of equipment if you don't know what you're doing.
Yeah, I wouldn't call the cops, but that's pretty high on the list of bad places for a homeless encampment.
I mean, they shouldn't be in a server room probably, it's not entirely safe.
Is that Giano Sleaze?
