As long as you are looking for “free and someone else maintains it” you are going to be hopping services regularly to stay on something that has VC money to burn for goodwill.
If you host it yourself you either have a maintenance headache or a shortage of features.
Depends what your time is worth really; I use buildkite with runners on AWS for work, and it doesn’t suck.

I’ve been quite pleased with the free, unlimited GitHub Actions for public repos. I’m sure the party will end eventually, but it’s easy enough to move to whatever is best whenever that happens. And it’s not VC money that’s funding it, so who knows how much goodwill and market share Microsoft wants to buy?

For personal stuff it’s harder to pick.
