In this specific case I suppose they are using IBM-donated computing power 
which is a more sustainable "business model" than paying MacStadium or 
whoever.

Github Actions is very usable and covers the common cases (gcc-4.7 to -10, 
clang 3.5 to 11, msvc 14.1 and 14.2, macos-10.15) so Travis can be used only 
for the rest (https://travis-ci.org/github/boostorg/core/builds/755272662).

To enable Github Actions for your repo, just copy e.g. 
https://github.com/boostorg/core/blob/develop/.github/workflows/ci.yml into 
the same directory. No other steps are needed.
