Sometimes I use sudo lsof -i to see what connections various applications and daemons are currently making. Immediately after updating from Sonoma to Sequoia, as in after the restart, the terminal command no longer returns the vast majority of processes, only a subset of them. At first I though it was just that several processes had changed after the update, or were not running yet as it was only after an update. However, after connecting to my wifi network, I can observe the usual background processes in the network tab of activity monitor sending and receiving data. However, when running sudo lsof -i, none of them appear. In fact the only process I was able to get the connection information of was firefox. No other processes, whether they are running under my account, root or one of the various other built in ones, returns anything at all.

Given this happened directly after the update, I have to assume it's related. But I have no idea what is actually causing it or how to fix it.
