Sure there are other ways: you can store it in a variable, eg:
while :; do
ps aux; netstat
sleep 1
done | (
out="X"
while read -r x; do
out="$(printf "%s%s\nX" "${out%X}" "$x")"
if [ -e dump-output ]; then
echo -n "${out%X}" >>dump-output
out=""
else
echo "Buffer size: $(echo $out | wc -c)"
fi
done
)

Uh, readonly /var isn't a supported configuration... Assuming you symlink
/var/lib/dpkg elsewhere, and don't fill up /var/cache/apt, it doesn't
seem like it'd need to be either?
