I have a HN filter userscript for this purpose:

If you filter most of the news websites, and other pointless crap, HN gets pretty technical again.

Thank you!

I've just tried it out, works great. I'm not using quite as strict a filter as you are, basically Oath sites, medium and known paywalled sites. I will add to it as I go :)
