Yes!
OCI has an ARM64 VM in their free tier!
They also provide easy integration with GitHub Actions -
https://blogs.oracle.com/cloud-infrastructure/post/announcing-github-actions-arm-runners-for-the-arm-compute-platform-on-oracle-cloud-infrastructure
But the issue here is that GitHub Actions self-hosted runners are not
recommended for public/OSS projects because bad people can execute malware
on your VM via (meaningless) Pull Requests.

This setup uses QEMU -

.
It works but it is much slower than using a real ARM64 machine/VM.
