Ah-ha! Just discovered a better way of listing only the packages that I installed on #FreeBSD . Most folk tell you to use pkg info -q -a which just gives you a list of everything installed. I wanted just what I installed after the initial FreeBSD install. So to do that type the following.pkg query -e '%a=0' %nEveryday is indeed a school day. 😎#RunBSD

@justine I think that also has an alias `pkg prime-list` by defaultTo be fair, I never remember either, so I have an entry for it in my mega notes.txt file saving me from having to reconstruct the command from man-pages. If you need it, the OpenBSD counterpart is `pkg_info -m` or `pkg_info -mz` (depending on how loose you want the naming)

@justine here's hoping your memory is better than mine (or that you dump it in your corresponding notes.txt outrigger-brain 😆)

I've dumped it into my corresponding notes.txt outrigger-brain as I would 100% forget. 🤣

I'm running a #Snac fediverse instance which supports markdown. You can also use markdown on some Mastodon instances if they have the glitch-soc version.https://glitch-soc.github.io/docs/
